At the discussion session, many delegates were concerned about the content of the proposal to increase tuition fees. Delegate Pham Thi Hong Toan - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nghe An Newspaper (delegate from Vinh City) reflected: Increasing tuition fees is necessary, but what is the appropriate increase level? The education sector needs to clearly calculate the issue of revenue and expenditure, a high increase rate at once will cause pressure and psychological stress for the people.

Delegate Pham Thi Hong Toan also emphasized that in the explanation of the education sector, the tuition fee increase was due to the increase in basic salary, but we must calculate how many children of civil servants are receiving salaries among the students; the increase must be consistent with the economic level. Expressing concerns about the content of the expenditure from tuition fees overlapping with the expenditure collected from socialized sources, delegate Pham Thi Hong Toan suggested that the expenditure should be transparent and clear.

Regarding this content, delegate Nguyen Thi Thu Huong - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee; Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of the Provincial Government Offices (deputy of the Provincial People's Council of Vinh City) suggested: The increase is too sudden, affecting the psychology of the people because the students are children of farmers, accounting for a large proportion. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a more specific roadmap. Sharing the same viewpoint, some delegates suggested that the construction fee should be regulated instead of the current form of socialized collection.
