In mid-August, the construction atmosphere at the construction sites of ethnic minority boarding schools in Lao Cai was urgent.
Groups of workers are busy completing items, machinery and equipment are operating continuously, and many construction teams are being deployed in parallel.
According to the Lao Cai Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board, 4 phase 1 projects including boarding primary and secondary schools in Muong Khuong, A Mu Sung, Pha Long and Y Ty communes are being implemented simultaneously.
Contractors mobilize maximum manpower and equipment, closely follow detailed progress every day, and organize continuous construction "3 shifts, 4 teams".
Many teams of workers are arranged simultaneously to carry out construction, electricity and water installation, interior and landscape finishing.
Recorded at the construction site, construction units are taking advantage of every day to complete the project, while ensuring requirements for labor safety and environmental sanitation.
According to the plan, all 4 projects must be completed, handed over and put into use before August 30, 2026.
To date, the boarding school project in Muong Khuong and A Mu Sung communes has reached over 96% of the volume. Two projects in Y Ty and Pha Long have reached over 88% of the volume.
Mr. Phan Van Vinh, official of the Lao Cai Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board, said that the unit is regularly urging contractors to focus manpower and accelerate construction progress.
Currently, we are urging the contractor to urgently construct. This is a task under the direction of the Central Government, which must be completed before the new school year," Mr. Vinh said.
According to the Lao Cai Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board, contractors have built detailed progress for each item, increased manpower, supplemented equipment and organized construction in shifts.
Difficulties arising at the construction site are regularly inspected and coordinated by the parties to handle so as not to affect the overall progress.
In parallel with completing construction, preparations to put 4 schools into operation are also being implemented.
Up to now, the enrollment plan, arrangement of officials, teachers, and staff has basically been completed.
Localities and relevant units prepare textbooks, school supplies, personal belongings, organize accommodation, and at the same time develop plans to ensure security and safety for students.
The completion of 4 boarding schools is of great significance to students in border communes of Lao Cai.
The projects are invested to create better learning and living conditions, contributing to improving the quality of education and caring for the lives of students in border areas.
On construction sites racing against time, each item is completed every day.
From classrooms, functional rooms to facilities serving accommodation and living, everything is being urgently completed so that new schools can welcome students right in the 2026-2027 school year.
With the requirement to complete before August 30, contractors have less than 2 weeks left to complete the final parts.
This is also a decisive sprint for 4 boarding schools in the border region of Lao Cai to be put into use in time, serving students before the new school year.
