Those attending private or non-public schools will receive state-backed tuition support, with specific amounts to be set by each provincial and municipal People’s Council. These must remain within the fee limits established by the government. The central budget will support provinces that lack the capacity to fully fund the programme, ensuring equal access to education across regions.

On the same day, the NA Chairman also signed Resolution No. 218/2025/QH15 on universal preschool education for children aged 3 to 5 by 2030.

The resolution's objectives include building more schools and classrooms, upgrading facilities, and ensuring an adequate number of qualified teachers. The initiative will combine state investment with private funding, aiming to close educational gaps among different regions. The resolution took effect on June 26 when it was passed by the National Assembly.
