Stirring up open letter calling on former students to contribute 15 million/class to celebrate school's founding anniversary

Recently, many former students of Nong Cong I High School (Nong Cong district, Thanh Hoa ) received an open letter calling on teachers, generations of former students, parents, agencies, unions, businesses, organizations, and individuals at home and abroad to join hands to contribute and support the school for the 60th anniversary of its founding.

According to the list of planned construction items, there are 13 items in total, including: Tiling the front and back yards of the 3-storey house; paving the central yard; symbolic stones; painting building A; building B; building C; building D; painting the multi-purpose house, painting the fence; building a traditional room; editing and printing the yearbook; propaganda costs; and costs for organizing ceremonies and festivals.

Of the 13 items above, there are 5 items with estimated budget, including: Symbolic stone (200 million VND); construction of traditional room (400 million VND); editing and printing of yearbooks (1,000 copies - 200 million VND); propaganda budget (270 million VND) and budget for organizing the Ceremony and Festival (1.09 billion VND).

It is worth mentioning that in the organization plan, the school has set a "leveling" amount of tens of millions of dong for each class according to the school year.

Specifically, for classes graduating in 2013 and later, the minimum is 10 million VND/class; for classes graduating before 2013, the minimum is 15 million VND/class.

Some former students think that it is normal for schools to have open letters. However, it should not be set in a "leveling" way because it is no different from being mandatory, while the conditions of former students are different.

According to plan, Nong Cong I High School is expected to celebrate its 60th anniversary on November 11 and 12, 2023.

Mr. Nguyen Van Giap, Principal of Nong Cong I High School, admitted that there was an open letter and a plan to call for donations. According to Mr. Giap, this organization needs socialization and the cooperation of generations of students, teachers, and benefactors to have money to organize.

Previously, Le Van Huu High School (Thieu Hoa district) also called for contributions of more than 2.6 billion VND for the school's 60th anniversary celebration.

After receiving feedback, the Inspector of the Thanh Hoa Department of Education and Training concluded that the call for socialization is not prohibited. However, the total estimated cost is more than 2.6 billion VND, of which some items are not practical and still cause waste.
