The Ministry of Education and Training said that on August 22, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in education and training development; which includes the content "No school councils will be organized in public educational institutions (except for public schools with international agreements).

Accordingly, the Ministry of Education and Training requests that from September 12, 2025, affiliated universities and vocational training institutions temporarily suspend planning work with the Chairman of the school board and Vice Chairman of the school board (if any).

Temporarily suspend planning and consideration of new appointments for the positions of Director, Deputy Director, Principal, and Vice Principal until new instructions are available (not applicable to reappointment at the end of the term).

The School Council, the Chairman of the School Council, and the Vice Chairman of the School Council (if any) whose term ends shall continue to operate until new instructions are issued. In case the Chairman of the School Council has passed the age of management, the Vice Chairman (if any) shall operate the School Council, or the School Council shall elect a person to operate if there is no Vice Chairman of the School Council. The Ministry of Education and Training requests that units strictly implement this.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, this adjustment is to ensure the maintenance of school operations after the Politburo issued Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in education and training development, which includes the content of not organizing school councils in public educational institutions, except for public schools with international agreements.
