According to the reflection from Ms. NTBT, Vice Principal of Duong Dong Kindergarten, on the morning of May 24, the school held a meeting to review the competition at the end of the school year. Because she suspected that Ms. NTBT was the one who posted the clips of teachers beating students on Facebook, causing public outrage and resulting in the principal, 1 vice principal and 4 teachers being disciplined, Ms. LTKD (a teacher at the school) rushed forward and kicked Ms. T. in the abdomen. The fight was not stopped, and Ms. T. had to contact her husband to run into the school to take her to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Ms. LTKD's side affirmed that there was no impact on Ms. T. that caused the teacher to be injured and hospitalized. "I do not know where Ms. T.'s injury came from. The authorities are also verifying and clarifying the incident. I will protect the reputation of the unit and myself," Ms. D. said.

As Thanh Nien reported, at the end of March, many clips appeared on Facebook recording images of some kindergarten teachers using their hands and objects to continuously impact children during class. The location of the incident in the clips was later identified as Duong Dong Kindergarten (Duong Dong Ward, Phu Quoc City, Kien Giang Province). The clips also recorded the time of the incident in February and March 2025.

Accordingly, there is a clip recording the image of a teacher making about 20 students sit with their arms crossed, their faces down on the table, forcing them to be quiet. When a child disobeyed, the teacher used a ruler to hit the table repeatedly to threaten them, and sometimes she used her hand to hit the children's heads to make them sit still.

In another clip, the teacher had the students line up in a U-shape to play a game. When a child was not concentrating, the teacher patted the child on the shoulder and then used her hand to pinch the child's ear. There was also a clip recording a teacher holding an electric mosquito racket and hitting the student's head when the student was not lining up properly. After verifying and clarifying, the People's Committee of Phu Quoc City issued a disciplinary decision to reprimand the principal, 1 vice principal and 4 teachers of this school.
