School cancels 10th grade exam results because students are late in paying tuition fees, what does the Department of Education and Training say?

On June 22, Mr. Pham Dang Khoa, Director of the Dak Lak Department of Education and Training, said that he had just received information reflecting that Victory Primary-Middle-High School (Victory School, Buon Ma Thuot City, Dak Lak) canceled the 10th grade admission results of students due to late tuition payment.

“I have asked the Department’s professional department and Victory School to report specifically on the incident. Once the report is available, the Department will work with the relevant units, compare the regulations and within the Department’s authority, will make a specific decision on this case,” said Mr. Khoa.

Previously, Victory Primary - Secondary - High School had a document signed by Mr. Nguyen Hoa Nam, Principal of the school, responding to Mr. NQT (residing in Thuong Tin District, Hanoi) about canceling the admission results to grade 10 of student NML, Mr. T's daughter.

On June 15, Mr. NQT submitted a petition to Victory School regarding the school's cancellation of NML's admission results for grade 10 in the 2024-2025 school year. Accordingly, student L. was admitted to grade 10 at Victory School in the first round and was notified by the school that June 8 was the deadline for enrollment and tuition payment.

Mr. T. said that because he lived far away and did not have enough money in his account, he paid the tuition late. On June 10, Mr. T. had just paid his daughter's tuition when he learned that the school had canceled his daughter's admission results. Mr. T. also stated in the application that his daughter had studied at Victory School from grade 2 to grade 9, so he hoped the school would create conditions for his daughter to continue enrolling in grade 10.

According to the response document from Victory School signed by Mr. Nguyen Hoa Nam, the school has informed that admitted students need to complete the admission procedures and pay one month of tuition as required before 4:00 p.m. on June 8.

Before the enrollment deadline, the homeroom teacher informed L.'s parents and student about the need to complete the enrollment procedures on time.

According to Mr. Nguyen Hoa Nam, Victory School is a private school, 100% financially autonomous. The school's 10th grade admissions are divided into two phases. Phase 1 prioritizes students currently in grade 9 at the school; phase 2 is for students with remaining needs. Students who are admitted in the first phase but do not complete the admission procedures will have their quota reserved for the second phase. Therefore, NML's admission results are canceled according to regulations.

Regarding the reason stated by the parents of student NML in the petition, Mr. Nam said that student L.'s family did not comply with the school's request, nor did they text or call the homeroom teacher or the school's admissions board to discuss the late payment of tuition.
