Gia Lai officials review personnel errors in school restructuring

Authorities in Quy Nhon Nam ward, Gia Lai province, have initiated disciplinary reviews for several officials following the improper reassignment of school principals to teaching positions. The errors occurred during a restructuring process that reduced the number of local educational institutions from 13 to 6.

An investigation by the Gia Lai Department of Education and Training revealed that five principals were incorrectly demoted to teachers, violating provincial guidelines. Among those affected, Ms. M. H. T. Q., the former principal of Nguyen Van Cu Primary School, has been appointed as Vice Principal of the newly formed Kim Dong Primary School.

The remaining four individuals, including Cao Thi Hong Nghia, Nguyen Thi Thanh Ha, Ho Thi Hong Tam, and Nguyen An Vinh, have reportedly expressed their desire to transition to teaching roles rather than accepting vice principal positions at the reorganized schools.

As part of the accountability process, the Quy Nhon Nam Ward People's Committee has ordered formal reviews for the ward's leadership, including the Chairman and Vice Chairman, as well as the Culture and Social Affairs Department. The reviews aim to address shortcomings in the advisory and arrangement of management staff and accountants during the administrative merger.
