Incentives for demobilized soldiers to study
VGP – Demobilized soldiers who want vocational training will be financed by the State, according to Decision 157/QĐ-TTg of the PM on credits for students.
The Government chief on
Friday last week issued a decision on assistance to demobilized soldiers in
learning a trade.
Under the decision, those
who take courses at high school or college levels are provided with preferential
loans to afford their study.
At the elementary level,
they are granted with a "Vocational Card" having the maximum value equivalent
to the benchmark salary for 12 months and the one-year validity.
The State will pay for
training costs on the basis of the "Vocational Card," actual training
costs and the certificate issued to the trainee.
The decision will come
into effect on November 23, 2009.
