After the merger, the western mainland border area of Gia Lai province has 7 communes with 21 primary and secondary schools. However, most schools do not have boarding and semi-boarding facilities; there is still a shortage of facilities, and teacher housing rooms are degraded. Of the total 9,482 students, 54.65% are children of ethnic minorities.
Implementing the investment policy to build inter-level boarding schools for primary and secondary schools in 248 land border communes across the country, Gia Lai province plans to need about 1,200 billion VND to implement in 7 border communes. The schools will be designed according to the standards of the Ministry of Education and Training, ensuring full items for teaching, learning, accommodation and comprehensive training for students.
Gia Lai province identifies the investment in building boarding schools in 7 border communes as an important and urgent political task to facilitate learning and living conditions, contributing to improving people's knowledge and developing human resources in the locality.
Therefore, the Chairman of the Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee requested departments, branches and localities to focus on implementation with a spirit of urgency and high determination; proactively remove obstacles, ensure project progress and efficiency.
The Department of Education and Training is assigned to coordinate with relevant units to review, determine the scale, and complete the investment plan; at the same time, proactively seek the Ministry of Education and Training's opinion on the subjects of enrollment, management and operation mechanisms as well as specific regimes and policies for boarding schools in border areas.
The Department of Finance is responsible for advising on the allocation of capital for investment preparation, completing procedures to add the project to the medium-term and annual public investment plan, ensuring the progress of construction and completion.
The Chairman of Gia Lai province assigned the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board to be the investor of the Boarding School Construction project. The Director of the Board is responsible for presiding over and, together with the Department of Education and Training and related units, implementing procedures, ensuring the start of construction in 2025 and completion before September 2026.
