This parent believes that lottery business is a special type of business with conditions, so it must be regulated according to the provisions of law and the inspection and supervision of the State.
In addition, according to the above regulations, only people aged 18 and over are eligible to participate in the prize. Meanwhile, students at Le Quy Don High School for the Gifted are high school students, still minors, and do not have full civil capacity, so they are not eligible to participate in the prize.
Speaking to Lao Dong reporter, Mr. Nguyen Tho Minh Quang - Principal of Le Quy Don High School for the Gifted said that in the plan of activities to celebrate the Year of the Dragon 2024 of the School Youth Union, there is an activity "Tet Sharing 2024" to mobilize donations for the "Tet Sharing" scholarship fund.
This activity is organized to award scholarships to poor but studious students, through the purchase of lottery tickets from January 15, 2024. Teachers, students, and parents participate in buying lottery tickets to support with a spirit of consensus and voluntariness.
The amount of money collected (70 million VND) from the above-mentioned scholarship fundraising activity using "lottery tickets" of the School Youth Union was all public, transparent and given to students in difficult circumstances, so the above-mentioned fundraising activity is not a lottery business.
According to the principal, please consider the matter openly and sympathize with the school.
Normally, there are many ways to raise money for social charity, including lottery. Businesses, organizations, and agencies often have lottery draws on the occasion of anniversaries or activities of the unit, which is not business.
It is possible to check the lottery ticket sales activities of Le Quy Don High School for the Gifted, the total revenue, and what it is used for. If the school puts all that money into the scholarship fund, it is not a violation of the law.
On the contrary, if the school sells lottery tickets to students and parents and then shares the profits, that's a different story.
However, before the authorities make a conclusion, please have a sympathetic view of the school and the teachers. A prestigious specialized school cannot organize the sale of lottery tickets to students and parents for business purposes.
However, the school should also learn from experience, if the purpose is to raise funds for scholarships, it should not organize lottery ticket sales but choose another form that is more suitable for the educational environment.
