On the afternoon of September 28, information from Mr. Vo Cao Long - Head of the Departmentof Education and Training of District 1, Ho Chi Minh City - said that Ms. TPH (Chuong Duong Primary School, District 1) has been temporarily suspended from teaching.

The above decision was made after the Department of Education and Training of District 1 worked with the leaders of Chuong Duong Primary School and teacher Ms. H., who asked parents for support to buy laptops, causing a stir in public opinion.

Accordingly, the school will sign a contract with an outside teacher to ensure that students' learning is not interrupted and that learning activities for class 4/3 continue normally.

At the same time, the entire amount of money contributed by the parents of class 4/3 was returned to the class's parent representative committee.

Previously, Ms. H. - homeroom teacher of class 4/3 at Chuong Duong Primary School, District 1 - made the parents of this class very upset after she asked the parents for financial support to buy a laptop but was not accepted.

Specifically, when she did not receive the consent of some parents, Ms. H. said she would not prepare a review outline for the students.

Besides, even though she said she "would not accept support" from parents to buy laptops anymore, Ms. H. still kept the fund of the class's parents' representative committee and did not return the money she wanted parents to support to buy laptops to the class's representative committee.

The incident made the parents of class 4/3 very upset and caused 25/27 parents of this class to submit a request to the school to change the homeroom teacher or transfer classes.
