The policy will be expanded in phases, ensuring all students in educational institutions managed by the city will benefit by the 2029-2030 academic year.
All students, regardless of public or private school enrollment, will receive free textbooks through a borrow-and-return system, with compensation required for damaged or lost books.
Quang Ninh, Ho Chi Minh City, Hue, and three communes and wards in Dong Nai and Da Nang are investing tens of billions of dong to provide free textbooks starting next academic year, three years ahead of the national roadmap.
