Will pay tuition and living expenses of students majoring in education as soon as possible

On the afternoon of November 7, Mr. Tang Huu Phong - Deputy Head of the Propaganda Department of the City Party Committee and Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Hoi - Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City co-chaired a press conference on the city's socio-economic issues. Many issues were raised, such as: the 10,000 billion VND flood prevention project; the underground power grid work of the electricity sector; how to handle livestreams attacking and insulting others online; why have students majoring in education at Saigon University and Ho Chi Minh City University of Education not yet been paid tuition and living expenses according to Decree No. 116/2020/ND-CP of the Government?

A representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that they are urgently completing documents to transfer funds to Saigon University and Ho Chi Minh City University of Education.

Regarding the issue of refunding tuition fees and living expenses according to Decree No. 116/2020/ND-CP of the Government for pedagogical students of Saigon University and Ho Chi Minh City University of Education, why have students not received them yet?

A representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training (GD&DT) said that according to the plan, the procedures were expected to be completed in October 2024. However, due to the number of students implementing Decree 116/2020/ND-CP in the 2021-2025 school year, the Department of Education and Training had to supplement some contents related to the legal basis at the time of performing the task and ordering teacher training, so it was slower than the original plan.

“Currently, the Department of Education and Training is urgently completing the documents with full legal basis at the time of placing the order to transfer funds to Saigon University and Ho Chi Minh City University of Education as soon as possible,” said a representative of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Thang Long - Deputy Chief of Staff of Ho Chi Minh City Police Department suggested not to support or comment on livestreams that attack and insult others.

Regarding the issue of livestreams attacking and insulting others, how will they be handled? Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Thang Long - Deputy Chief of Staff of Ho Chi Minh City Police said that livestreams attacking and insulting others can create conditions for bad actors to commit illegal acts. Specifically, bad actors can stage, distort the truth, spread false and misleading information with offensive, vulgar, distorted language and content, insulting the honor and dignity, infringing on the rights and legitimate interests of individuals and organizations...

In Vietnam, all citizens must comply with the law, including activities in cyberspace. The Party and State respect, protect, guarantee and promote citizens' freedom of speech. This is one of the basic human rights and this right is within the framework of the law.

“To improve the social network environment, people need to have a correct awareness of freedom of speech and strictly follow the provisions of the law when using cyberspace. For livestreams with content that attacks others, people are requested not to participate in supporting or commenting and need to condemn wrongdoings; at the same time, notify the authorities when detecting illegal acts,” Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Thang Long suggested.
