Is it possible to set up a school in an apartment building in Vietnam?
In Vietnam, is it possible to set up a school in an apartment building? In Vietnam, how to deal with the behavior of using apartments for schools? I am now over 50 years old, a retired preschool teacher and currently living with my husband in an apartment complex, due to having a lot of free time, many families in the apartment building know that I am a teacher. As a childcare worker, many families send their children and ask me to take care of them while working, so I plan to open a preschool in the apartment building. May I ask if I am allowed to open a school? Thank you very much!
