Are teachers allowed to give free extra lessons to regular students?

In recent weeks, the story of tutoring has continued to "heat up" on social networking sites. One of the issues that many people have discussed is whether teachers who tutor students for free are considered to have violated the law?

Article 4, Circular 29/2024 stipulates that teachers are not allowed to organize extra classes for primary school students, except in cases of training in arts, sports , and life skills training.

At the same time, teachers are not allowed to teach extra classes outside of school for money to students that the teacher is assigned to teach by the school according to the school's educational plan.

Teachers at public schools are not allowed to participate in the management and operation of extra-curricular teaching but can participate in extra-curricular teaching.

Based on the above content, public teachers are allowed to teach extra classes outside of school without charging students they are teaching at school.

What is the fee for extra tutoring as prescribed?

According to Circular 29/2024, organizations and individuals that organize extra teaching and learning outside of school and collect money from students must register their business to be subject to management according to the provisions of the Law on Enterprises.

Business organizations and individuals must also increase publicity on the electronic information portal of the tutoring facility or post at the tutoring facility information about the subjects that are organized for tutoring and learning; the duration of tutoring for each subject by grade level; the location, form, and time of organizing tutoring and learning.

At the same time, publicize the list of tutors and collect tuition fees before enrolling students in tutoring and learning classes to increase supervision by the entire population and authorities.

The amount of tuition collected outside of school is agreed upon between parents, students and the tutoring facility. The collection, management and use of tuition fees are carried out in accordance with the provisions of the law on finance, budget, assets, accounting, tax and other relevant regulations.

Thus, according to the regulations, there will be no regulations on the maximum or minimum level of tuition fees outside of school, but will be agreed upon between the two parties. The collection, management and use of tuition fees will be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the law on finance, budget, assets, accounting, tax and other relevant regulations.
