On the evening of March 13, according to information provided by the People's Committee of Binh Hung Hoa A Ward (Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City), during an inspection of a number of tutoring centers and extra-curricular teaching facilities, Binh Hung Hoa A Ward discovered violations related to regulations on extra-curricular teaching.

Accordingly, on the afternoon of March 11, Mr. Nguyen Phu Hai, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Binh Hung Hoa A Ward (Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City), led the ward's education inspection team to conduct a surprise inspection of a number of tutoring centers and extra-curricular teaching facilities located in this ward.

Based on the inspection report, at the Ý Mỹ Tutoring Center, the inspection team recorded that the ground floor of the center had 2 rooms, in which in the small room there were 13 students from 3 primary schools: Binh Thuan , Phu Dong and Lac Hong, most of them studying Vietnamese and math in grade 3. In the larger room there were 24 students studying math, Vietnamese and English at the primary level . These two rooms were connected without any partition.

The Ý Mỹ tutoring center has a fire prevention plan but it has not been approved by the authorities. This center provides boarding services for students but has not yet provided a food safety profile.

Also at the time of inspection, the inspection team confirmed that this center had a business registration license but organized boarding services that were not included in the license; the list of tutors and tuition fees had not been posted. Many signs of the Ý Mỹ Tutoring Center were incorrect compared to regulations.

At Thien Ngan Tutoring Center, at the time of inspection, there were 18 children (mostly students from Phu Dong Primary School) being kept by the center, with no commitment between parents and the facility.

This center does not list tuition fees, timetables, or teacher lists according to Circular 29 of the Ministry of Education and Training regulating extra teaching and learning. Many teachers and staff of the center do not have proper labor contracts, and the center's fire prevention and fighting records have not been approved.

At the time of the inspection, members of the inspection team noted that at Thien Ngan Center there were many cooking utensils for large groups of people, plastic tables and chairs for dining, a room with a sign saying dining room and bedroom, and many personal blankets for students. Many of the center's signs were also not in accordance with the business registration license regulations...

Previously, according to the feedback of many local residents , many tutoring centers in this ward had primary school students coming to study. Meanwhile, Clause 1, Article 4, Circular 29/2024 of the Ministry of Education and Training on extra teaching and learning clearly stipulates cases where extra teaching and learning is not allowed, including primary school students, except for cases of arts, sports and life skills training.
