Accordingly, public educational institutions should keep tuition rates unchanged for the 2022-2023 school year to timely support students from low-income families and disadvantaged households, as well as to stabilize prices and control inflation for the country's economic recovery.

Provinces and cities that have already raised tuition fees for the 2022-2023 school year will have to pay for the increase with funds from the local budget.
Self-financed educational institutions may set tuition fees. The fees shall be submitted to the provincial People's Council for consideration and approval.
Localities are encouraged to increase recurrent expenditures for educational institutions with funding from the local budget.
