VietNamNet Bridge - Hundreds of teachers in HCM City have not been paid over the last year, while hundreds of teachers in Nghe An province have only received 85 percent of basic wages.

VietNamNet Bridge - Hundreds of kilos of vegetables with unclear origin were brought to seven schools in Tay Ho district in Hanoi, creating a public stir.

HCM City vows to dissolve 866 unlicensed privately run nursery classes after a series of child abuse cases were discovered. However, this proves to be an “impossible mission.”

Hanoi and HCM City authorities have vowed to shut down the unlicensed nurseries, or the household run classes which fail to meet the requirements on safety for babies. But this means that the children from poor families would have nowhere to go.

The Hanoi Education and Training Department has promised that Hanoi’s parents would have no more to stay up all night to queue up for the application forms for nursery schools.

Like Hanoi, HCM City authorities soon realized the danger put before the pre-school education of the city, once the education socialization policy started.

The last 10 years witnessed big upheavals in the pre-school education. The policy on pre-school education socialization has kept a lot of children away from kindergartens.
