On August 20, the Office of the People's Committee of Quang Nam province said that Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, had just signed an official dispatch to the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council for comments on the drafting of a resolution regulating tuition support levels for public educational institutions in the area.
The document stated that implementing the policy of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee on studying the possibility of balancing the budget and developing a project to implement the policy of exempting and reducing tuition fees for students in the area, the Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee directed the Department of Education and Training to preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies to advise on implementation.
Exempting students from tuition fees will help reduce the economic burden on families.
According to the People's Committee of Quang Nam province, current statistics show that with total tuition revenue for the period 2016 - 2024 estimated at more than 539.6 billion VND, the average annual revenue is nearly 67.5 billion VND.
The amount of money collected from tuition fees in the province each year accounts for 1.4% - 1.7% of the province's total regular expenditure on education. Tuition fees are used to pay salaries for preschool, middle school and high school teachers according to Government regulations; the remaining amount is used to supplement expenses for educational activities.
Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee said that in recent years, the province has been adversely affected by natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic, causing many difficulties for a part of the population.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a resolution regulating tuition support levels for public educational institutions in the 2024-2025 school year and semester I of the 2025-2026 school year in Quang Nam province.
As planned, Quang Nam province will support 100% of tuition fees according to the tuition fee collection level for public preschool and general education institutions in the area for the 2024-2025 school year and the first semester of the 2025-2026 school year (then continue to issue another resolution to support 100% tuition exemption).
Support is not applicable to preschool children, students of non-public schools, and general schools exempted from tuition fees according to Central policy.
Mr. Le Van Dung, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Nam province, said that the relevant departments are finalizing the project to submit to the Provincial People's Council for approval of the resolution in early September. According to the Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Nam province, the policy of exempting tuition fees for students at public schools is a humane policy of the province, aiming to help parents reduce some of the difficulties and economic burdens and create more motivation for students to study well.
