Tution fees waived for all public school students

The Politburo has decided to waive all tuition fees for students from kindergarten to high school in the public school system nationwide.

The move was made following the proposal by the Ministry of Education and Training.

This policy will take effect from the beginning of the 2025-2026 academic year, starting from September this year.

The Politburo has assigned the Government’s Party Committee to direct the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Finance, relevant ministries, sectors and local authorities to strictly implement this decision.

Previously, 10 provinces and cities had already implemented the tuition-free policy for students in the public school system, including Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Yen Bai, Quang Nam, Khanh Hoa, Da Nang, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Binh Duong and Long An.
