Organize organization but not disrupt learning

For high school level, Hai Phong does not implement the reduction of focal points because this system only meets about 60.5% of the demand for public 10th grade. Instead, the city orients to increase investment, expand the scale of public high schools and build additional new schools to reduce the pressure of 10th grade enrollment in the following years.
Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Minh Hung emphasized that the core objectives and requirements of arranging public educational institutions are to reduce management focal points but not reduce convenient learning scores; arrange organization but not disrupt learning; streamline the apparatus but must improve quality and service responsibility. The ultimate measure of arrangement is students' learning rights, education quality, resource utilization efficiency and the consensus of the people.
The commune level completes the arrangement of educational institutions in the area before August 20, ensuring stable school operations, without affecting the opening of the 2026 - 2027 school year.
