The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has issued Decision No. 4422 on the results of the second complaint settlement of Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang, former Principal of Vinh Loc High School (Binh Tan District). Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang was appointed as Principal of Vinh Loc High School (Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City) from June 26, 2017, for a term of 5 years.
In the decision of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, it is stated that on April 27, 2022, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training issued conclusion No. 1291 on the conclusion of a surprise inspection of Vinh Loc High School. Accordingly, it was determined that Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang had a number of violations in management and operation at the school (at the time of discovering the disciplinary violation).
Vinh Loc High School (Binh Tan District)
According to the inspection conclusion of the Department of Education and Training at the above time, in the financial and asset management section at Vinh Loc High School in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years, the school has mobilized sponsorship but the sponsorship mobilization plan has not been approved by the Department of Education and Training. In the 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years, the total amount of money remaining in the previous period and collected during the period was more than 672 million VND, the total amount of money spent for all 3 school years was more than 332 million VND, the remaining amount calculated as of the 2020-2021 school year was more than 127 million VND. The school used sponsorship to spend on security, order, lunch breaks, and hygiene, which is not in accordance with the provisions of Clause 2, Article 3 of Circular 16/2018 of the Ministry of Education and Training.
According to the inspection conclusion of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, the school used the funds of the parents' representative board for some contents that did not directly serve the activities of the parents' representative board such as: Training for the positions of secretary and deputy secretary, buying union membership books, training political theory lessons for union members, paying for commemorative medals and expenses to support educational activities... which are not in accordance with the regulations in Circular No. 55/2011 of the Ministry of Education and Training issued on the Charter of the parents' representative board.
The Department of Education and Training Inspectorate requested the school to recover the sponsorship money spent in violation of regulations; to recover and refund the wrongly spent money from the operating budget of the parent-teacher association from the 2018-2019, 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 school years. Thus, the school must refund the parent-teacher association a total of VND 258,493,900.
The Department of Education and Training held a review meeting, established a disciplinary council, and recommended disciplinary action against Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang, Principal of Vinh Loc High School.
Then, on October 6, 2022 (after 162 days from the time of discovering the disciplinary violation), the Department of Education and Training issued Decision No. 2494/QD-SGDĐT on disciplinary action against Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang in the form of reprimand.
In Decision No. 4422 of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, it is stated that, based on Clause 1, Article 5 of Decree No. 112/2020 of the Government, the disciplinary handling period for cadres and civil servants is the period from the time of discovering the disciplinary violation of cadres and civil servants until the decision on disciplinary handling by the competent agency or organization is issued, not exceeding 90 days; in cases where the case has complicated circumstances requiring time for inspection and examination to verify and clarify, the disciplinary handling period may be extended but not exceeding 150 days.
Thus, the Department of Education and Training's issuance of Decision No. 2494/QD-SGDĐT to handle disciplinary action after 162 days from the time of detecting the violation is late and does not ensure the correct disciplinary action deadline.
Regarding the determination of violations for disciplinary action, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee also concluded that the Department of Education and Training's decision to issue a disciplinary action against Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang without clearly identifying each violation to apply the disciplinary action was not in accordance with regulations. At the same time, in Decision No. 4422 of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, it is stated that on May 3, 2024, the Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Home Affairs chaired a dialogue session to resolve the petition. As a result, the complainant (Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang) and the representative of the Department of Education and Training agreed on the content of the error in the disciplinary action procedure applied to civil servants and Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang's second complaint against Decision No. 2494 dated October 6, 2022 of the Director of the Department of Education and Training regarding the disciplinary action against Ms. Trang was well-founded.
From the above comments and grounds, Mr. Duong Ngoc Hai, Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, decided:
Request the Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City to cancel Decision No. 374 dated February 23, 2023 of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City on resolving the first complaint, and at the same time withdraw Decision No. 2494 dated October 6, 2022 of the Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City on disciplining Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang.
Along with that, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee assigned the Department of Education and Training to organize the implementation of this decision in accordance with the provisions of law, restore the legitimate rights and interests, and compensate for damages (if any) to Ms. Nguyen Thi Nha Trang, former Principal of Vinh Loc High School, in accordance with regulations. At the same time, report the results to the Chairman of the City People's Committee and the Ho Chi Minh City Inspectorate.
