Parents upset because school slow to buy health insurance for students

Some parents whose children study at Phan Ngoc Hien High School (Nam Can District, Ca Mau ) are upset because the school is slow in purchasing health insurance, even though they have paid since the beginning of the school year.

On January 9, some parents whose children study at Phan Ngoc Hien High School (Nam Can District, Ca Mau) angrily reported to Thanh Nien reporters that the school was slow in purchasing health insurance even though they had paid in full at the beginning of the school year.

Ms. TNA (residing in Tan An Tay commune, Ngoc Hien district) said that her family paid for health insurance for her child at Phan Ngoc Hien High School since the beginning of the school year. After enrolling for more than a month, while playing with friends, her child injured his hand, so she took him to a local medical facility for examination. At this time, she just discovered that her child's health insurance had expired. After she reported, the school added the requirement to buy health insurance for her child.

Similarly, Mr. TVT (residing in Nam Can Town, Nam Can District) shared that in the 2023-2024 school year, after about 3 months of paying for health insurance, his child had a traffic accident and had to be hospitalized.

On the afternoon of January 9, speaking with Thanh Nien reporter, Mr. Do Van De, Principal of Phan Ngoc Hien High School, said: "I will not answer about this issue."

In addition to the health insurance issue, Phan Ngoc Hien High School is facing many other complaints about its management. A teacher of the school has denounced a series of violations of the school, including: not developing internal spending regulations for the 2024-2025 school year; not implementing the 3-public plan as prescribed and lacking transparency in financial revenue and expenditure; not paying tuition fees for students in disadvantaged areas...
