It is expected that on September 5, 9 inter-level boarding schools in border communes of the province will simultaneously organize the inauguration ceremony associated with the opening of the new school year.
Therefore, the last days of August are a race against time, not only to complete construction items but also to ensure all conditions for students to study, eat, live and live safely and conveniently.
