On January 15th, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training issued a document addressing the situation of educational activities at non-public educational institutions in the city.
Accordingly, after inspecting the actual educational activities of non-public educational institutions during the first semester of the 2023-2024 school year, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training requests that these units proactively inspect, review, and rectify the organization of their activities.
Specifically, schools must clearly separate the powers and responsibilities of the School Board, the Supervisory Board, the Principal, and the Vice-Principal, in accordance with the regulations in Circular 40/2021.
In parallel, private schools must strictly manage the work permits of foreign workers.
When foreign workers resign or their work permits expire, educational institutions must return the work permits within the stipulated timeframe. Once a foreign worker is granted a work permit, the school must sign an employment contract.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training requires non-public educational institutions to display school name signs with the correct name as stated in the establishment permit issued by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, in accordance with Circular 32/2020, and to build a website with the school name matching the name in the establishment permit.
The collection, management, and use of tuition fees must comply with the regulations in Government Decree No. 81/2021, meaning that fees can only be collected for a maximum of 9 months per school year and cannot be collected in bulk for multiple years or the entire educational level. The declaration of educational service prices must also follow the guidelines.
Educational institutions must publicly disclose tuition fees and other charges on a monthly, semester, annual, and overall basis. All of the above information must be fully disclosed on the institution's website and publicly posted at the institution.
According to regulations from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, private high schools and multi-level schools with the highest level being high school (with domestic capital) must ensure that at least 40% of the total number of teachers in the school are full-time teachers, as stipulated.
When developing educational plans, schools must differentiate between the 2006 General Education Program and the 2018 General Education Program depending on the grade level.
During the admissions process, the school must ensure it has all three decisions: the decision permitting educational activities, the decision assigning the enrollment quota for grade 10, and the decision establishing the grade 10 Admissions Council, all issued by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training (the school must not exceed the annual enrollment quota).
Specifically for high schools with foreign investment, the principal and vice-principal must have a work permit as stipulated in Decree No. 70/2023. In cases where the principal or vice-principal is seconded from other countries, they must have complete legal documentation as per current regulations on exemption from work permits.
Educational institutions must fully implement the compulsory education content for Vietnamese citizens studying at foreign-invested general education institutions as prescribed. The school's enrollment plan must not exceed the number of students specified in the school establishment plan or investment registration certificate.
The admission of Vietnamese students must comply with the requirement that the proportion of Vietnamese students studying foreign education programs be less than 50% of the total number of students studying foreign education programs at the educational institution.
