A school in Khanh Hoa returned money for buying a TV to parents.

On September 30, Cam Ranh City People's Committee said it had received a report from the Department of Education and Training regarding the Principal of CN 2 Primary School (in Cam Nghia Ward, Cam Ranh City) mobilizing money from parents' contributions in violation of regulations.

Previously, many parents reported that the Principal of CN 2 Primary School requested the parents' committee to collect money to buy televisions for all classrooms.

According to the plan, each class will be equipped with a Samsung TV worth 8.7 million VND and the homeroom teachers have notified the parents to contribute. In addition, the principal of this school also proposed to collect 300,000 VND/child for socialized renovation of the school campus. Meanwhile, the renovation of the above campus has been carried out in the 2022-2023 school year.

According to parents, the mobilization of the above resources is not in accordance with regulations. Although it is said to be voluntary, in reality the school had a plan in advance and parents had no other choice. In response to parents' complaints, on September 14, the Department of Education and Training of Cam Ranh City worked with CN 2 Primary School.

Verification results show that in the 2022-2023 school year, the school principal developed plan No. 11 to mobilize resources from the community and parents to carry out projects such as building a park, a green library corner, paving the front gate corridor, installing 4 physical games... with a total amount of 274 million VND.

The above Plan No. 11 has been approved by the People's Committee of Cam Nghia Ward but has not been approved by the Department of Education and Training of Cam Ranh City. Furthermore, the plan has not been implemented in the school's Pedagogical Council.

For the 2023-2024 school year, the school did not develop a plan but still mobilized funds from parents to pay for items for the 2022-2023 school year and purchase televisions in classrooms at an amount of VND 8.7 million/television.

Therefore, the Department of Education and Training of Cam Ranh City has requested the Principal of CN 2 Primary School to stop collecting mobilized funds and return money to parents for socialized mobilized funds, and make a list of signatures for confirmation.

It is known that CN 2 Primary School has returned all the money mobilized from parents to buy televisions at the beginning of the year.
