The report of the Department of Education and Training of Nghi Son town clarified each content posted on Facebook related to the fund of the parents' representative committee.

Regarding the content: "Money for buying student desks and chairs for the 2024-2025 school year, money for buying drums, money for buying electrical systems, money for replacing window glass, money for paving the stage, money for repairing the plumbing system, money for buying water tanks, money for repairing sewers and schoolyards", this total amount is up to more than 103 million and it is called the "support" fund for facilities. And if there is no support, it is not okay with the school", after verification, the Department of Education and Training of Nghi Son town said that the school has carried out a number of items according to plan, with exhibits, documents and records kept at the school according to regulations.

In addition, the school established a fundraising committee and compiled it periodically. There is no pressure on parents to contribute.

According to the Department of Education and Training of Nghi Son town, there is no basis to say "if you don't support, you won't be able to do anything with the school".

Regarding the amount of more than 81 million VND from the parents' fund, up to now, the representative board has spent 67,810,000 VND. The expenditures are appropriate.

Currently, the remaining amount in the fund is more than 13.4 million VND. The parents' association is planning to spend it to support students' practice, buy schoolyard dance and singing performance equipment, and reward students with excellent achievements in the 2024-2025 school year.

The Department of Education and Training also explained the content posted on Facebook, stating: “The principal also made this comment that made many parents upset, but did not clearly state in the list of “TVs” and fans that parents paid for their children starting in grade 1, but at the end of grade 5, the principal said that they belonged to the school, because the school paid for electricity, so he asked parents to leave it to the school. It sounds so boring, now that the children go to school, parents have to pay for repairs and purchase of facilities, otherwise the school has almost no role. If this kind of contribution is true, it is likely that in just 2 or 3 years, parents will have to pay for school construction as well.”

Regarding this content, the Departmentof Education said that the Principal of Hai Thanh A Primary School is Ms. Le Thi Quy, not a teacher.

Through verification, Ms. Le Thi Quy did not tell anyone the above content. The reflected information is completely incorrect.
