Hanoi People’s Council yesterday approved the resolution to raise tuition fee in high-quality public school in the capital city in the next academic year 2020-2021.

The monthly tuition fee per pupil at the 14 best educational institutions in the city will increase by VND400,000.

According to the Department of Culture- Society’s report, the Hanoi People’s Council agreed with the People’s Committee’s proposal to raise tuition fee to improve educational facility and teachers’ income as well as apply advanced teaching methods. SGGP
