According to a newly-issued decree, the maximum fine for students and teachers who violate exam regulations could be as high as VND50 million (USD2,400).

The new regulation was issued by the Prime Minister to deal with several violations in the education sector, especially in the examination room.

According to the regulation, violating students, aside from the normal punishments, will also have to pay a financial penalty.

Students who help other students on exams will be fined VND2-3 million, and teachers that give false marks to students will be fined VND8-10 million.

Teachers that leaked or lose exam questions will have to pay a fine of VND20-50 million.

People that insult or threaten harm to the exam attendees and organisers, or those who spread wrong information will also be subject to the new law.

The new decree also tightens grip on many other issues concerning extra-classes and overspending in schools. Both schools and teachers would be subject to fines of VND3-20 million if they violate the regulations.

The decree will take effect on December 10, replacing the older decrees.
