The principal is being recommended for disciplinary action for allowing teachers to gamble at school.

Previously, on July 18th, the Department of Education and Training of Hong Dan district received information alleging that staff and teachers of VP Primary School were playing cards in the school library, affecting students and preventing them from reading.

According to verification by the Hong Dan District Department of Education and Training, the incident of school officials, teachers, and staff playing cards in the library (next to the teachers' reading room) is true and has occurred multiple times.

Card games are often played during breaks, after professional activities, or after organized work sessions at the school, spontaneously by staff, teachers, and employees who get together to play.

The loser pays for drinks or cigarettes; there is no gambling for money. However, the principal was aware of this but did not take timely measures to stop it.

The Department of Education and Training of Hong Dan district believes that gambling in schools, even if not for money, has occurred repeatedly, causing negative public opinion among administrators, teachers, and staff; affecting the discipline, order, and reputation of the school; and damaging the image of teachers in the eyes of students.

The Department of Education and Training of Hong Dan district assessed that the primary responsibility for this incident lies with Mr. HVT, the school principal.

"The Department only recommended handling the matter according to regulations, but how to handle the principal is up to the District People's Committee," a leader of the Hong Dan District Department of Education and Training informed, adding that they are still awaiting the district's decision.
