Specifically, according to the plan for the parent meeting at the beginning of the year, the school has mobilized parents to contribute a TV maintenance fee of 100,000 VND/student/year.

According to the school, after recording parents' opinions and reviewing relevant documents, the school's board of directors decided not to continue raising the above amount of money.

If the student has paid, it will be deducted from the next month's tuition.

As VietNamNet reported, parents of Hong Bang Primary, Secondary and High School were upset about the "TV maintenance" fee of 100,000 VND/student.

Mr. Pham Viet Thang, the school's principal, said that the school has just replaced the old 50-inch TV with a 65-inch smart TV this school year.

According to Mr. Do Dang Bao Linh, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training, non-public schools are autonomous in negotiating tuition fees with parents. The Department will work with the school and make adjustments to comply with regulations.

"When the children graduated, even though we agreed on a plan to liquidate the air conditioner to have a fund for the children's party, some parents still criticized me for 'taking advantage of others' and taking the class's common property to please the principal," Ms. Dung recounted.
