Vietnam has just exempted biological and
legally adopted children of soldiers and non-commissioned officers who are on
active service from paying tuition fees when they are enrolled in preschool
education, according to a joint circular recently issued by the Ministries of
Finance and Defense.
Accordingly,
the children will not have to incur any tuition during their enrollment at both
public and private kindergartens.
Children
who are born or adopted during the servicemen’s service will also enjoy free
preschool education.
This
policy is applicable from November 15, 2011.
* The
Vietnam branch of the UK-based Association of Chartered Certified Accountants
(ACCA) and Deloitte Vietnam have debuted a scholarship fund to provide
financial aid for needy and high-performing students who study economics,
finance, accounting, auditing, banking, and foreign trade at Hanoi and Ho Chi
Minh City universities.
Minister
of Finance Vuong Dinh Hue had been selected as the honorary president of the
fund.
Le Thi
Hong Len, ACCA Vietnam head, says the fund will grant VND1 billion (US$48,000)
to Vietnamese students each year while the association will offer complimentary
soft skill courses to scholarship winners as well.
High-achieving
college students who are in financial difficulties can apply for a scholarship
by writing an essay proving they deserve one, and submit it to the fund
managers by June 30.
Interested
applicants can get detailed information on the scholarship fund at
www.thapsangtuonglai.com.
