Currently, this content is being widely consulted by the People's Committee of Nghe An province before finalizing and submitting to the Provincial People's Council for consideration and promulgation of the Resolution "Regulations on tuition fees in public educational institutions; tuition support levels for private primary school students who are eligible for tuition exemption and reduction policies according to regulations under the management of Nghe An province from the 2023-2024 school year", expected in the second quarter of 2024 to start applying from the 2023-2024 school year.
The issuance of the above policy aims to create a legal basis for public preschool and general education institutions that are not self-sufficient in regular expenditure to apply and implement; to improve the effectiveness of State management in education.
At the same time, public preschool and general education institutions have not yet ensured regular expenditure to keep tuition fees stable from the 2023-2024 school year at the same level as the 2021-2022 school year.
Previously, entering the 2023-2024 school year, the Provincial People's Committee directed the Nghe An Department of Education and Training, while waiting for the Government to issue legal documents regulating tuition fees, public preschool and general education institutions, to guide public preschool and general education institutions that have not yet ensured regular expenditures in the province to temporarily collect and exempt tuition fees at the 2021-2022 school year tuition fee level issued by the Provincial People's Council to apply locally.
On December 31, 2023, the Government issued Decree No. 97/2023/ND-CP amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 81/2021/ND-CP dated August 27, 2021 regulating the mechanism for collecting and managing tuition fees for educational institutions in the national education system and policies on tuition exemption and reduction, support for learning costs, and service prices in the field of education and training.
In which, the Government stipulates: For educational institutions that have not yet self-financed regular expenses, the tuition fee level from the 2023-2024 school year must be kept stable at the same level as the tuition fee level of the 2021-2022 school year as issued by the Provincial People's Council and applied locally.
