Localities proactively propose streamlining plans
Talking to a reporter of Lao Dong Newspaper, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tu - Vice Chairman of Tra Tan Commune People's Committee - said that the locality has completed the development of Plan No. 09/PA-UBND submitted to the city for consideration. According to this plan, the commune proposes to merge Anh Duong Kindergarten and Vanh Khuyen Kindergarten into Tra Tan Kindergarten. At the same time, the locality arranges 2 primary schools and 2 secondary schools to form 2 inter-level primary and secondary schools, thereby reducing 50% of the number of school focal points (from 6 facilities to 3 facilities).
Regarding the plan to handle redundant staff, Tra Tan commune plans to arrange 1 kindergarten principal to no longer hold the position of principal and take on the position of vice principal. 2 redundant staff (accountants, clerks) will be assigned to the Commune People's Committee to be in charge of appropriate professional tasks.
Similarly, Lien Chieu Ward People's Committee also issued Plan No. 06/PA-UBND proposing to merge small-scale kindergartens and elementary schools to reduce from 10 schools to 7 schools (reaching a reduction rate of 30% of focal points). The common point in the plan of localities is that it only merges in terms of legal entities and management apparatus, keeping all existing school sites to ensure convenient school distance for students.
Completed before September 1st
Da Nang City People's Committee has issued Plan No. 03/PA-UBND officially approving the plan to rearrange the whole city. According to this plan, educational institutions under the commune-level People's Committee will be sharply reduced from 893 institutions to 382 institutions (the reduction rate reached 57.22%). In which, preschool level reduced 172 schools, primary school reduced 210 schools, secondary school reduced 137 schools and 50 inter-level secondary and high school schools were formed.
For facilities directly under the Department of Education and Training, the total number of units decreased from 83 to 70 facilities (down 15.66%). 18 high schools were merged to form 9 large-scale high schools. 4 continuing education centers were also streamlined into 1 center with 3 facilities.
Immediately after issuing the overall plan, on August 11, relevant departments and branches will issue guiding documents for implementation. No later than August 17, the People's Committees of communes and wards and the Department of Education and Training will complete the issuance of arrangement decisions according to their authority.
Before August 25, units must complete the announcement of decisions, personnel appointments, asset handover, finance and organizational stability. The city assigned the Department of Home Affairs to take the lead in guiding the process of arranging cadres, resolving regimes for redundant civil servants; the Department of Education and Training is responsible for expertise and propaganda to create consensus. All educational institutions after arrangement will officially go into operation from September 1, ready for the new school year 2026-2027.
