Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Council approved a policy of exempting tuition fees for all public school students, with 50% support after two years. This comes from the assessment that the local socio-economic situation is still difficult, and people are still affected by natural disasters and epidemics. With about 290,000 students this school year, the provincial budget is expected to spend 75 billion VND.
Quang Nam will spend 160 billion VND to support all tuition fees for more than 372,000 preschoolers and high school students according to the tuition fees for the two school years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. Preschoolers and students of public and private schools are all eligible for this policy. The support level is equal to 100% of the tuition fees for public schools in the area.
For example, preschool students in urban areas pay 105,000 VND per month and in rural areas it is 45,000 VND. The province supports exactly this amount. Students in private schools with higher tuition fees will pay the rest according to the agreement with the school.
