On the morning of Sunday, October 6, many individuals left the parent-student assembly at Vo Truong Toan Main Faculty (District 10, Ho Chi Minh Metropolis) with completely happy faces. For the primary time, the category fund, faculty fund or different collective contributions are introduced by the homeroom instructor: No assortment!
The cool breeze of not amassing faculty and sophistication funds from Binh Duong has “blown” to colleges in Ho Chi Minh Metropolis?
“Wealthy” mother and father need to earn extra, “poor” mother and father fear immediately
The details about Hoa Phu Main Faculty (Thu Dau Mot Metropolis, Binh Duong), which doesn’t cost any charges apart from the necessary cleansing price, is really a constructive signal value appreciating within the context of inflation. collected at many faculties and brought about nice anger in public opinion.
Class funds and contributions are sometimes reported as “voluntary” however are in actual fact necessary. It turns into a relentless fear for fogeys, particularly at each assembly originally of the college yr.
Many faculties additionally make the most of normal laws to “pressure” homeroom lecturers to cost unreasonable charges, creating dissatisfaction for a lot of mother and father.
Then again, some mother and father with good monetary circumstances have contributed to “encouraging” overcharging. This creates an unfair studying surroundings, particularly for deprived households.
Many instances I’ve witnessed poor mother and father with many youngsters having to “distort” their contributions to the category fund. Dad and mom who’ve the means not solely enthusiastically contribute but additionally counsel elevating the price, offering further allowances or different income-generating actions.
Eliminating the above insurance policies as colleges in Thu Dau Mot or District 10 are doing may also eradicate the “wealthy and poor distinction” based mostly on the flexibility to contribute. From there, create equity and well being within the studying surroundings for college kids.
Extra importantly, the choice of Mr. Nguyen Van Cong – principal of Hoa Phu Main Faculty helps cut back the financial burden on mother and father who’re working onerous to lift their youngsters’s training.
Spreading “cool breeze”
The function of instructional establishment leaders is a prerequisite to have the ability to create cool breezes just like the current one in Binh Duong, adopted by Ho Chi Minh Metropolis. Many mother and father need Hoa Phu Main Faculty to be a “mannequin” that must be replicated.
Nonetheless, a father or mother buddy of mine instantly requested the query: The place ought to we take a look at the true nature of the basis of the issue?
Yearly, irrespective of how a lot the price range is spent on training, many public colleges are nonetheless cramped, outdated, and missing services.
In the meantime, a contemporary instructional surroundings wants good technical services, together with computer systems, projectors, laboratories, basketball and badminton playgrounds… to realize the aim of complete training.
So the place are the assets for our kids to have entry to these more and more excessive requirements?”.
The implementation of instructional socialization insurance policies in current instances has achieved some constructive outcomes, particularly mobilizing assets to spend money on constructing faculty services and contributing to instructional improvement. .
Nonetheless, in actuality, the implementation of insurance policies to encourage socialization within the area of training and coaching nonetheless faces many difficulties and obstacles.
And in some colleges, the distortion of “socialization” by misuse of college and sophistication funds remains to be a painful story.
The “mannequin” of colleges with out class funds in Binh Duong is evaluated positively. However replication will instantly encounter the query that my buddy and father or mother raised above: monetary “limitations”.
Subsequently, along with the help and facilitation of authorities in any respect ranges to create favorable circumstances for colleges to spend money on services, the cooperation of social organizations and fogeys… is important. set.
However this doesn’t imply forcing, however relying on the flexibility of every father or mother, there must be no equality. Dad and mom can contribute wherever they will; if they do not have the flexibility, they will not contribute.
That’s the true spirit of volunteerism, which must be replicated and unfold in lots of different colleges. Solely then will the “downside” of overcharging in training be solved.
The remaining situation is whether or not the principals need or “dare” to alter or not!
Academics should be chargeable for amassing faculty and sophistication funds
Ms. Do Thi My Hoa, principal of Vo Truong Toan Main Faculty (District 10, Ho Chi Minh Metropolis), stated that on the first assembly of the 2024-2025 faculty yr, the college totally understood with homeroom lecturers if this occurred. Academics should be chargeable for amassing class and college funds.
Additionally on the first father or mother assembly of the yr, yesterday October 6, the homeroom lecturers of all lessons knowledgeable the father or mother consultant board to not have any assortment from class or faculty funds.
In earlier faculty years, Vo Truong Toan Main Faculty additionally didn’t gather faculty funds however had a pupil reward fund. As for the category fund, it was determined by the consultant board of the category’s mother and father with the motto of voluntary assortment, not equal. .
