The synchronously invested items include classrooms, subject classrooms, dormitories, administration buildings, multi-purpose buildings, cultural houses, dining - kitchen houses, teacher dormitories, along with technical infrastructure and auxiliary works.
To ensure progress, Lao Cai province once launched the "100 Days and Nights Campaign" to complete boarding schools in 4 border communes before August 30.
In Pha Long, hundreds of engineers, workers and armed forces worked continuously during the peak period to complete the project.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Hoang Giang emphasized that putting the new school into use shows the concern of the Party, State and province for education in ethnic minority areas, remote areas, and border areas.
At A Mu Sung, nearly 1,200 students of A Mu Sung Primary and Secondary Boarding School attended the inauguration and opening ceremony of the new school year.
The school is invested with 250 billion VND on an area of about 6.78 hectares, with a scale of 36 classes, meeting the learning and living needs of about 1,260 students.
In the 2026-2027 school year, the school has 1,662 students, of which 1,151 are ethnic minority students.
The new facility includes a system of classrooms, administration building, multi-purpose building, dining - kitchen, student dormitory, teacher dormitory and technical infrastructure items, teaching equipment.
