Gia Lai authorities review personnel errors in school restructuring

Authorities in Quy Nhon Nam Ward, Gia Lai Province, have held review meetings to clarify responsibilities following the controversial reassignment of five former school principals to teaching positions during a school restructuring process.

The Gia Lai Department of Education and Training determined that failing to appoint former principals to vice-principal roles in the newly reorganized schools violated regulations. In response, local officials have reviewed and adjusted personnel plans for three of the former principals.

Two former principals, Cao Thi Hong Nghia and Nguyen Thi Thanh Ha, expressed their desire to continue as teachers until retirement rather than taking vice-principal positions. Another former principal, Mac Hoan To Quyen, has requested an appointment as vice-principal at Kim Dong Primary School, a process the ward will follow according to regulations.
