Teacher in Ca Mau exonerated after 9 years: 11 people reprimanded, including 5 former leaders.

After nearly a decade of being labeled a "poor teacher," Mr. Nguyen Van Thuyet has finally had his honor restored. A rigorous investigation is now targeting the former leadership of the Bac Lieu Department of Education and Training, bringing to a bitter end the past wrongdoings.

An unjust "suspended" sentence that lasted 9 years.

The story begins in 2016, when Mr. Nguyen Van Thuyet – then a teacher at Bac Lieu Specialized High School – unexpectedly received a transfer order. The reason given was that he had received an "Average" professional rating for two consecutive years. For a teacher at a specialized high school, this was not just an administrative decision but a heavy blow to his reputation and professional honor.

Determined not to accept the unreasonable arrangement, Mr. Thuyet began a persistent appeal. After nine long years, the truth finally came to light: The poor performance rating given to him was completely against regulations by the school leadership, leading to a chain reaction error in the Department of Education and Training's decision to transfer him.

The "storm" of reviews sweeps through former leaders.

Recently, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Ca Mau province issued a strong directive, requiring the Department of Internal Affairs, the Department of Education and Training, and the Provincial Inspectorate to investigate and clarify the responsibilities of a number of individuals and groups involved.

This latest list of names has caused a stir in public opinion as it brings together a formidable group of former leaders of the old Bac Lieu Department of Education and Training, including: Former Directors: Mr. Truong Cong Lap and Mr. Ho Quang Huy. Former Deputy Directors: Mr. Ngo Doan Nguyen, Mr. Nguyen Van Hao, and Mr. Trac Van Day.

In addition, individuals in the professional department and former school leaders are also not immune to the scrutiny. Names like Ms. Phu Thi Cam (former Principal of the specialized school), Ms. To Ngoc Dung (former Head of the Organization and Personnel Department), and several current inspection officials are also facing accountability.

Controversial reactions and the steadfastness of justice.

Notably, in July 2025, when the Ca Mau Department of Education and Training announced the findings of wrongdoing, many former leaders reacted strongly. They disagreed with the conclusion that they had done wrong and requested a review of the entire process.

However, "every cloud has a silver lining." In response to this protest, the Chairman of Ca Mau province instructed the Provincial Inspectorate to re-verify the matter. The final result remained unchanged: the conclusion of the former Bac Lieu province was entirely justified. All attempts to evade responsibility could not shake the truth that had been revealed.

Lessons on fairness in education

The case of teacher Nguyen Van Thuyet is not just a personal story, but a wake-up call about ethical management in the educational environment. A wrong decision can be signed in a moment, but the injustice that the teacher has to bear lasts for nearly a decade.

The fact that Ca Mau province is resolutely handling violations from the former Bac Lieu era (before the merger) shows a serious commitment to the management of officials. This is a positive sign, indicating that no matter how much time passes, those who have done wrong must still be held accountable before the law and their conscience.

Justice may be delayed, but it is never absent. For Mr. Thuyet, nine years of his youth may never be recovered, but the honor of a teacher has been restored to its rightful place.
