Call to stop asking parents to contribute nanny allowance

On the afternoon of September 26, at a regular press conference providing information on socio-economic issues in Ho Chi Minh City, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hien, Deputy Head of the Department of Education and Training (GD&DT) of Thu Duc City confirmed that a number of primary schools in the area have called on parents to support the contribution of the August 2024 allowance for nannies. The above amount is collected voluntarily from parents and paid to the school.

According to Ms. Hien, after receiving the information and reviewing, the Department of Education and Training of Thu Duc City requested the units to stop the mobilization and return all the funds that were mobilized and used for the wrong purpose.

At the same time, this unit directed educational institutions to seriously study the document and properly implement the direction and spirit of Circular 16/2018/TT-BGDDT regulating funding for educational institutions in the national education system.
