The Ministry of Education and Training noted in reviewing and evaluating the current status of the network of educational institutions; developing a plan to reorganize the network of educational institutions; preparing implementation conditions...
Only merge kindergartens and general schools within 1 commune
In particular, for preschool and general education institutions, only merge schools and school locations within the scope of a commune-level administrative unit; prioritize the retention of schools with favorable conditions (enting facilities, transportation, concentrated residents); dissolve small-scale schools that do not meet the minimum infrastructure standards.
Education institutions subject to the merger must be fully prepared with facilities at the main school.
The conversion of land use purposes and facilities at the relocated schools must comply with the provisions of law and ensure effective use.
Ensure that each commune has at least one kindergarten, one primary school and one secondary school
Ensure that each commune-level administrative unit has at least one kindergarten, one primary school and one secondary school.
In special cases, high schools can have many levels of education, but separate areas must be arranged for each level of education, ensuring teaching conditions.
Priority is given to high school models with many levels of education ( basics and secondary schools) in sparsely populated areas or areas with difficult travel conditions.
At the same time, consider merging kindergartens and primary schools with small scale and below standards in the same commune-level area according to a suitable roadmap.
Arrange and merge continuing education centers, vocational education centers - continuing education into vocational education centers - continuing education
Arrange and merge continuing education centers and vocational education - continuing education centers into inter-ward and commune vocational education - continuing education centers according to the functions, tasks and organizational structure of the vocational education - continuing education center; merge continuing education centers with inter-ward and commune vocational education - continuing education centers in the same commune-level area.
Arrange and merge community learning centers according to commune-level areas; ensure that each commune-level administrative unit has a commune-level community learning center.
