Mrs. Nguyen Thi My Hien whose child will be a 9th grader of the Thanh Khe District-based Huynh Thuc Khang Junior High School, said that this was good news in a time of price storms as the prices of everything are going up. Tuition is also a significant amount for low-income families.
“A tuition waiver can help me save a little more to take care of my children's other tuition fees” happily said Mrs. Hien.
Similarly, Doan Vu Thuy Hien, a grade 10 pupil of the Pham Phu Thu Senior High School in Hoa Vang District, said that her family was in Hoa Bac Commune, Hoa Vang District, and both of my parents are farmers. Her older brother is currently a third-year student, whilst she has just passed the senior high school entrance exam for the 2022 - 2023 school year. According to Hien, with families in the centre of the city, several hundred thousand of the annual tuition fees is not much, but it is not a small amount of money for rural families.
The Principal of the Hoa Vang District-based Do Thuc Tinh Junior High School, Mr. Cap Phi Ha, highlighted that this was a very meaningful policy for pupils in rural areas, contributing to alleviating difficulties for their parents, especially disadvantaged families.
In addition, the city’s policy on providing free textbooks for pupils living near the local poverty threshold is also noteworthy.
Sharing the same opinion, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Khanh, the owner cum the Headmistress of the Khanh An Kindergarten in Cam Le District said, this was the city's humane policy. During the last school year, due to the impact of COVID-19, the city also waived tuition fees for pupils.
