This is a vital first step to develop a quality, stable, and sustainable learning environment.

Procedure for Obtaining a License to Establish a Private Secondary School

The licensing procedure for establishing a private secondary school is detailed in Decree 125/2024/ND-CP. The licensing authority is the Chairman of the District-level People’s Committee, who decides on permitting the establishment of private secondary schools within the district.

According to Article 26 of Decree 125/2024/ND-CP, to apply for Private Secondary School Licensing, an organization or individual must prepare and submit a dossier including:

• A submission letter proposing the school’s establishment (Form No. 01, Appendix I, Decree 125/2024/ND-CP).
• A school establishment project (Form No. 02, Appendix I, Decree 125/2024/ND-CP).

According to Clause 3, Article 26, Decree 125/2024/ND-CP, the implementation process includes these steps:

• Step 1: Dossier Submission Organizations or individuals submit 01 set of dossiers via the online public service portal, postal service, or directly to the District-level People’s Committee.

• Step 2: Dossier Review Within 05 working days of receiving a complete dossier, the District-level People’s Committee checks its validity. If invalid, the authority issues a written notice specifying necessary corrections or additions. If valid, the District-level People’s Committee directs the Department of Education and Training to appraise the establishment conditions.

• Step 3: Dossier Appraisal Within 20 days of receiving a complete and valid dossier, the Department of Education and Training, in coordination with relevant specialized units, appraises the conditions in the dossier. It prepares an appraisal report evaluating compliance with Article 25 of Decree 125/2024/ND-CP and submits it to the Chairman of the District-level People’s Committee for consideration.

• Step 4: Decision Issuance Within 05 working days of receiving the appraisal report from the Department of Education and Training, if conditions are met, the Chairman of the District-level People’s Committee issues a decision permitting the establishment of the private secondary school (Form No. 10, Appendix I, Decree 125/2024/ND-CP). If conditions are not met, a written notice stating the reasons is provided.

• Step 5: Decision Announcement The decision permitting the establishment of the private secondary school is publicly announced through mass media.

Note: If, after 02 years from the effective date of the establishment permission decision, the school is not permitted for educational activities, the Department of Education and Training will report to the Chairman of the District-level People’s Committee to revoke the establishment permission decision.

The total processing time for a valid dossier is not more than 30 working days from receipt. This includes 05 days for validity check, 20 days for condition appraisal, and 05 days for decision issuance. This timeline is crucial for Private Secondary School Licensing.

Tasks After Receiving Private Secondary School Establishment License

After receiving the decision permitting private secondary school establishment, organizations or individuals must continue performing many important procedures to ensure the school can operate legally and effectively. Decree 125/2024/ND-CP clearly states that if, after 02 years from the effective date of the establishment permission, the school is not permitted for educational activities, the establishment permission decision will be revoked.

Tasks after receiving a Private Secondary School Licensing decision include:

• Applying for an educational operation permit: This is the most crucial mandatory procedure post-establishment. According to Article 27, Decree 125/2024/ND-CP, private secondary schools must apply for an educational operation permit after receiving the establishment decision and meeting conditions for facilities, educational equipment, educational programs, teaching staff, and management personnel.
• Registering for a tax code with the local tax authority to fulfill tax obligations.
• Opening a bank account for the school’s financial operations.
• Registering and carving a seal according to regulations for use in administrative transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Private Secondary School Licensing Services

Below are frequently asked questions about Private Secondary School Licensing services.

Who is permitted to apply for a private secondary school establishment license?

Current regulations on establishing private educational institutions allow both organizations and individuals to apply for a Private Secondary School Licensing, provided they meet all conditions stipulated by Vietnamese law. For foreign investors, school establishment will also need to comply with international commitments and specific legal regulations on foreign investment in education.

If the dossier is rejected, does the investor have the right to appeal?

Vietnamese law guarantees the right of organizations and individuals to appeal administrative decisions. Therefore, if disagreeing with the licensing refusal decision, investors can appeal to the immediate superior state agency of the District-level People’s Committee or file an administrative lawsuit at court according to the Law on Complaints and the Law on Administrative Procedures.

What are the minimum requirements for land area and facilities?

Legal regulations, including national standards for schools (e.g., TCVN for secondary schools), require schools to have a land area meeting training scale, ensuring sufficient space for functional blocks like classrooms, subject rooms, libraries, playgrounds, and practice yards. Article 25 of Decree 125/2024/ND-CP also emphasizes that facilities and teaching equipment must be appropriate for the educational scale and objectives.

How are financial capacity requirements for school establishment regulated?

A key condition in Article 25 of Decree 125/2024/ND-CP is that investors must have sufficient financial resources to cover investment costs for establishment (including construction, equipment procurement) and maintain stable school operations, at least in the initial phase before stable revenue. The specific amount will be appraised based on the establishment project and the school’s intended scale.

If I want to establish multiple private secondary school campuses, do I need a separate license for each?

Yes. Each educational institution operating at a separate location, even under the same investor, is considered a separate legal entity or dependent unit with its own operational registration. Therefore, investors must undergo separate establishment permission procedures for each campus; each dossier will be independently appraised according to Decree 125/2024/ND-CP. This is a core principle of Private Secondary School Licensing.

How long does it take to obtain an educational operation permit after the establishment decision?

After the establishment permission decision, the school needs to apply for an educational operation permit. Article 27 of Decree 125/2024/ND-CP regulates this dossier and procedure. Processing time is typically 20 working days from the date the competent authority receives a complete and valid dossier, provided the school has fully met facility and personnel requirements as per the approved project.

Does Long Phan Consulting Company support procedures after the school establishment decision?

Long Phan Consulting Company‘s services extend beyond obtaining the establishment decision. As committed in our after-sales policy, we continue to support clients with necessary subsequent legal procedures, especially applying for the educational operation permit under Article 27, Decree 125/2024/ND-CP, and issues related to tax and labor registration to ensure the school operates stably soon.
