According to the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, the issuance of a resolution regulating revenues and collection levels, and revenue and expenditure management mechanisms for services serving and supporting educational activities of public educational institutions in Ho Chi Minh City in the 2025-2026 school year will serve as a basis for implementing revenue collection to ensure publicity, transparency, and suitability with the socio-economic situation of the city after the rearrangement.

The resolution, when issued, will create a legal corridor, unifying the collection of service fees to support educational activities other than tuition fees at public educational institutions in the city. This is the basis for schools to implement collections to ensure publicity and transparency; ensure the organization of collections in schools is unified; improve the effectiveness of management and supervision of management agencies over collections of educational institutions; parents and society have a basis to compare and participate in monitoring the organization of educational activities of schools in terms of both content and costs, avoiding overcharging and causing public outrage.

(NLDO) - Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, said that there are educational institutions that have overcharged, with very offensive revenue and expenditure. All units have been instructed and trained, and if they collect wrongly, they must be dealt with; principals cannot say they do not know.

The resolution, once passed, will be applied to public preschools, general education institutions, continuing education institutions, vocational education and training institutions and other public educational institutions implementing general education programs in Ho Chi Minh City.
