On February 9, the Ministry of Public Security coordinated with Nghe An province to organize the Inauguration Ceremony of My Ly Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary School 2, an educational project of special significance in the border area, which is still facing many difficulties due to natural disasters and economic conditions.
Attending the ceremony were Senior Lieutenant General Pham The Tung - Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Minister of Public Security; representatives of leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, People's Committee of Nghe An province, along with a large number of officials, teachers and local people.
Nghe An is a locality that is frequently heavily affected by natural disasters, especially in 2025 when it continuously suffered many major storms, causing serious damage in the western mountainous communes. In the context of limited local budget, investment in educational infrastructure in remote and isolated areas faces many difficulties.
Faced with that reality, the Central Public Security Party Committee and leaders of the Ministry of Public Security have implemented a program to support the construction of 500 houses for people and invest in the construction of My Ly 2 Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary School to improve learning conditions for students in border areas. Thousands of turns of police officers and soldiers have directly participated in construction, overcoming difficult terrain and harsh weather to complete 227 houses and put the school into use sooner than planned.
Speaking at the ceremony, Senior Lieutenant General Pham The Tung affirmed that the project is a vivid proof of the Party and State's concern for the cause of education in the border region of the Fatherland. At the same time, he requested ministries, branches and localities to continue to coordinate to complete the remaining items, creating the best conditions for teachers and students; wishing the school to become a "second home", a place to nurture dreams for highland students.
On behalf of the local government, Mr. Thai Van Thanh - Vice Chairman of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee expressed his respect and deep gratitude for the practical support of the Ministry of Public Security. He emphasized the image of police officers and soldiers who do not mind difficulties, standing side by side with people to overcome the consequences of natural disasters, which has left many good feelings in the hearts of the people.
On this occasion, Deputy Minister Pham The Tung presented 1,000 gifts worth 500 million VND from the Ministry of Public Security to people and students; donated many teaching equipment, and at the same time rewarded collectives and individuals with outstanding achievements in the process of building houses and schools.
Leaders of the Ministry of Public Security and Nghe An province also presented books, backpacks, and school supplies to students in difficult circumstances; presented 40 gifts from the Minister of Public Security and the Deputy Minister of Public Security to typical collectives. In addition, Nghe An Provincial Police coordinated with BIDV Bank Nghe An branch and businesses to present 1,000 Tet gifts to people in 5 communes in the area, with a total value of 500 million VND.
