According to a report by the Ninh Binh Provincial Department of Education and Training, the whole province currently has 15 primary schools and 1 secondary school in 10 wards and communes exceeding the maximum class size according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training (calculated according to the maximum student population per class according to each level of education).
The whole province has 29 small-scale, sub-standard kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training (calculated according to 70% of the maximum student population per class according to each grade); there are 80 small-scale, sub-standard kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training (calculated according to 85% of the maximum student population per class according to each grade).
The lack of minimum teaching equipment according to the 2018 general education program is still lacking and not synchronized; some educational institutions, especially in the central ward areas, are still limited in terms of campus area, difficult to expand in a short time are difficulties in arranging the education network in Ninh Binh.
In addition, Ninh Binh province currently lacks 5,967 teachers at all levels compared to the quota of the Ministry of Education and Training. This puts great pressure on schools when implementing 2-session teaching/day. The management of extra classes and extra classes outside schools is still facing difficulties due to the lack of strong enough sanctions.
