Even with a favorable court ruling, enforcement remains a significant challenge

In recent times, several AISVN parents have chosen to take legal action to protect their interests.

In fact, some parents won their cases and received court judgments nearly two years ago. However, to this day, these judgments have yet to be enforced.

The issue lies not with the court’s ruling itself, but with the enforcement process.

Enforcement can only be carried out when there are eligible assets to be liquidated. Meanwhile, AISVN’s current financial situation is highly complex:

  • The school’s total financial obligations are immense

  • Existing assets are significantly lower than total debts

  • Prioritized obligations under legal regulations must be settled first

Therefore, even with a successful lawsuit, the actual recovery of funds remains extremely difficult.

Why do many parents who won their lawsuits still join AIST?

From that very experience, several parents who have already won their court cases have chosen to join the AIST initiative.

This is not because they are waiving their legal rights, but because they realize that:

If everyone takes a separate path, the chances of recovering their interests will be very limited.

In contrast, when the parent community unites through AIST, we can:

  • Form a significant creditor bloc with a unified voice

  • Create a structured framework to engage with investors and relevant stakeholders

  • Open up the possibility of restructuring the school, rather than simply waiting for a prolonged enforcement process.

AIST Does Not Replace the Right to Sue

It is crucial to understand that:

AIST does not replace the legal right to sue for any parent.

Every parent retains their full legal rights.

AIST is simply a collective effort by the parent community to find a more viable path to protect our common interests.

A Practical Question

If even after winning a lawsuit, the enforcement process drags on for years,
then the question is no longer just about "who is right and who is wrong."

The real question is:

"Is there a more feasible way to protect our interests and preserve the school for our children?"

That is exactly why AIST was formed.
