Vietnam school fee regulation and oversight

Overview

Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) has introduced strict measures to combat illegal fee collection in schools. To address unauthorized charges, MoET announced that any institution found overcharging must have its name publicly disclosed within three days of discovery, and school principals will face reviews for misconduct. The Ministry has already begun processing approximately 30 complaints regarding illegal fees or unauthorized tutoring.

Following these national guidelines, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training announced plans to deploy inspection teams in October 2026. These inspections will monitor revenue and expenditure, specifically targeting the improper solicitation of funds through Parents’ Representative Boards. Local authorities have emphasized that school principals will be held directly responsible for financial management and have instructed schools to avoid any collections outside of official regulations.
