At the 6th session (special session) held on November 14, the People's Council of Can Tho city passed a resolution regulating tuition fees for public preschool and general education institutions and tuition support levels for preschool children and private and non-public students from the 2025-2026 school year in the city. The subjects of application are public preschool and general education institutions that have not yet ensured regular expenses; preschool children, general students, and students following general education programs in private and non-public educational institutions.

Mr. Tran Quoc Vu, Vice Chairman of Can Tho City People's Council, chaired the meeting.

The Resolution aims to concretize the Party and State's policies and guidelines on education , ensure fairness in access to education, create conditions for children and students in the city to study; at the same time, regulate tuition fees, tuition fee areas and tuition support in a unified and transparent manner, contributing to improving the quality of education. The total estimated budget for tuition compensation and support for educational institutions, students and learners when implementing this Resolution is about 457 billion VND, of which the budget to support students of private schools is 19 billion VND.

Tuition fees at public preschools and general education institutions that are not self-sufficient in regular expenses are divided by region: For preschools and primary school students, the tuition fee in wards is 100,000 VND/month, in communes is 90,000 VND/month; for middle school students in wards is 120,000 VND/month, in communes is 100,000 VND/month; for high school students in wards is 140,000 VND/month, in communes is 120,000 VND/month. Online learning applies 75% of the prescribed tuition fee.

Based on this tuition fee, the city budget will subsidize public educational institutions and support 100% of tuition fees for students studying at private and non-public institutions. The support level is to ensure that students at non-public institutions enjoy the same benefits as public students, contributing to the implementation of a fair education policy.

According to the People's Committee of Can Tho City, the issuance of the resolution is necessary to prepare sufficient funding and policy framework before the new school year begins. This also contributes to affirming the city government's commitment to improving the quality of education, supporting students, especially children in difficult circumstances and non-public educational institutions.
