Deadlines and orientations for arranging public service units and schools
The Government issued Decision 282/QD-TTg setting a target for the period 2026-2027 to complete the arrangement of public service units, schools, medical facilities and state-owned enterprises. At the same time, the State will improve institutions and policies on organizational structure and financial autonomy mechanisms, ensuring synchronous and effective operation from central to local levels.
Regarding education, Minister Nguyen Kim Son emphasized that the arrangement of educational institutions must be cautious, suitable to the reality of each locality, not interrupt teaching and learning, not chasing achievements or imposing rigid targets. The goal is to improve the quality of education, not to let the merger make the scale too small or ineffective.
The Ministry of Education and Training requests not to mechanically merge levels of education such as preschool and primary school or merge many levels into one (except for the stable inter-level private model); not to take financial autonomy criteria as the basis for arrangement. Schools and school sites are too small in scale, not ensuring conditions that need to be reviewed and rearranged; the conversion of continuing education, vocational training or the merger of colleges must have a roadmap and ensure management capacity.
