HCM CITY — Many private high schools in HCM City have enrolled fewer 10th-grade
students for the upcoming 2012-13 school year because of higher school fees.
Private schools, including Au
Lac, Phan Boi Chau and Thai Binh Duong, have increased school fees by 30 per
cent.
Le Van Linh, principal of Thanh
Binh High School, told Giao Duc (Education) newspaper he did not have enough
applications to fulfil his enrollment quota of 760 students, compared to last
year when enrollment exceeded the quota. As of now, he lacks 100 students.
Pham Thanh Tam, principal of Hong
Duc High School, said the number of applicants for his 10th-grade class has
fallen about 20 per cent.
Only 400 places were filled out
of the enrollment quota of 550 for his school.
Hong Ha High School also has
enrolled only half of its quota, according to Ha Thi Kim Sa, the school's
principal.
Many parents said the increased
school fees were to blame.
Dang Hoang Nhung of Binh Thanh
District said tuition at private schools was two to three times higher than
public schools.
Nhung said she chose a vocational
school for her son to continue his studies.
