Speaking to the Provincial People's Committee, Colonel Nguyen Huu Cau - Director of the Provincial Police Department reflected on social security issues that voters in the province are interested in, such as the rights of people when participating in health insurance (HI) examination and treatment in the face of the overspending on HI;the state of extra tuition and extra learning in the education sector.

The Provincial Police Director cited: according to statistics, the extra tuition fees are 1.5-2 times higher than the tuition fees; a student has to bear a lot of extra fees such as: labor fees, security fees, air conditioner installation fees, projectors, etc. It is worth mentioning that the parents' association collects these fees, but when inspecting and checking, the school "blames" the parents' association.

The delegates also expressed concerns about the petitions of the people and businesses reflecting many public ethics and public discipline of the staff, civil servants and public employees. Administrative reform is in a state of "not being clear from above and below", the provincial leaders resolve the issue quickly but when it comes to implementing the tasks to departments, branches and specialists, it is too slow. This affects the investment environment and the socio-economic development of the province.

Responding to the National Assembly delegates' reflection on the content related to the socialization of education, Mr. Thai Huy Vinh - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training affirmed: Socialization of education is in line with the policy of the Party and the State. However, this work is currently very complicated and sensitive. Collecting all this and that in schools reduces the prestige of teachers; then there is a phenomenon of some principals taking advantage of this policy for personal gain. To manage this work, the Department of Education and Training has issued a specific instruction document and sent 5 inspection teams to promptly rectify.

The Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training said that kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools are under the management responsibility of the Chairmen of the People's Committees of districts, cities and towns, but so far no locality has disciplined a principal for violating the socialization policy.

Also at the meeting, voters' petitions of concern about the form of BT investment in localities, health insurance overspending affecting the quality of medical examination and treatment, limited clearance of traffic safety corridors in localities, support for people affected by natural disasters and floods, slow progress in granting land use right certificates, housing for meritorious people, etc. were explained and clarified by leaders of departments, branches and sectors.
