The above information was stated at the conference summarizing the 2022-2023 school year and deploying key tasks for the 2023-2024 school year for university education, organized by the Ministry of Education and Training at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology on the afternoon of August 26. The conference was attended by representatives of universities and colleges training preschool teachers nationwide.

Many "hot" issues of university education were discussed, including the issue of university tuition fees according to Decree 81. This Decree stipulates the mechanism for collecting and managing tuition fees for educational institutions in the national education system and policies on exemption, reduction, and non-increase of tuition fees, support for learning costs, and service prices in the field of education and training.

At the conference, Professor Nguyen Huu Tu, Principal of Hanoi Medical University, said that university autonomy is inevitable, and most universities have already implemented this.

Mr. Tu proposed policies to support schools, especially financially. Without support policies, schools will face many difficulties, especially those that have recently become autonomous. "I know that many of the schools that have recently become autonomous are facing many difficulties. Therefore, I hope that the Ministry of Education and Training will continue to propose that the State and the Government have additional financial policies for these schools," Professor Tu proposed.

Regarding tuition fees, Mr. Ngo Van Thinh, Deputy Director of the Department of Planning and Finance (Ministry of Education and Training), said that in accordance with the Government's direction, the Ministry has researched and completed the draft decree. Mr. Thinh said: "The spirit is that we will submit to the Government the plan to postpone the tuition fee framework prescribed in Decree 81 by 1 year." The Deputy Director said that the final decision belongs to the Government.

Regarding Decree 81, Mr. Thinh added: "We also note that higher education institutions. In Decree 81, the tuition fee roadmap is revised but other regulations remain unchanged." Giving an example, Deputy Director Ngo Van Thinh said: "For high-quality programs and advanced programs, after the 2-year period expires, if the accreditation fails, the tuition fee prescribed in Decree 81 for that field of study and the autonomy of the higher education institution will return to apply."
