The Ministry of Education and Training proposed 9 groups of solutions to rectify overcharging.

At the regular Government press conference in September on the afternoon of October 5, reporters raised the issue that the situation of overcharging has been recurring for many years, despite many directives to rectify it, but voluntary socialized contributions are still being transformed into mandatory ones.

The reporter asked, what measures does the Ministry of Education and Training have to clearly distinguish and avoid forcing parents? What is the specific solution to completely resolve the situation of overcharging in the 2025-2026 school year?

Discussing this issue, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Le Tan Dung said that recently, the Ministry of Education and Training and local authorities have issued many documents to rectify the situation of overcharging by educational institutions.

For the 2025-2026 school year, the Ministry of Education and Training issued Document 5542 dated September 12, 2025 to ministries, branches, localities, and educational institutions on the implementation of tuition policies, tuition exemptions and reductions, and other fees in the education and training sector.

The Ministry of Education and Training has 9 groups of long-term and short-term solutions to rectify the situation of overcharging. Firstly, the Ministry of Education and Training has issued a document requesting all levels and sectors to strictly implement education policies as well as regulations on tuition fees, exemptions, and tuition support in accordance with Decree 238 dated September 3, 2025 of the Government.

Second, the regulations on service fees to support educational and training activities must be decided by competent authorities. It is strictly forbidden for all educational institutions to set up fees that are contrary to the regulations of competent authorities.

Third, the mobilization, management and use of resources must comply with the regulations of competent authorities.

Fourth, strictly implement regulations on posting and publicizing information on prices of educational materials, equipment, and textbooks in the area, ensuring publicity and transparency.

Fifth, through monitoring in localities, the Ministry of Education and Training has found that many localities have directed educational institutions in the area to comply with the list issued by the People's Council. Schools are absolutely not allowed to combine many fees, not collect many periods in advance; and are not allowed to take advantage of the name of the Parents' Representative Board to collect fees in violation of regulations.

Sixth, the Ministry of Education and Training will continue to review the system of legal documents to make adjustments and supplements to ensure the rights of learners, especially students and their parents.

Seventh, based on its functions, duties and powers, the Ministry will continue to strengthen inspection and supervision work, and when detected, will strictly handle it according to the provisions of law.

Eighth, the Ministry of Education and Training recommends that the agencies of the National Assembly and the Standing Committee of the National Assembly regularly monitor this matter at both the central and local levels.

Ninth, it is recommended that local Party committees and authorities regularly inspect and direct the correction of this situation right at educational and training facilities in the area.
