On April 21, representatives of the Gia Lai Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board said that contractors constructing 7 schools in the border area are still making efforts to race to meet the progress.
Although for about two months now, the construction industry has faced difficulties when gasoline and oil prices fluctuate, transportation prices and raw material costs have increased by more than 20%.
As of April 2026, the total volume implemented reached about 27% of the construction contract value. Hundreds of workers live and work in camps to serve loading and unloading, rough construction, excavation and embankment, transportation...
Because this is a key project, it is required to be completed on schedule to put it into operation by the end of August 2026.
Despite many difficulties and pressures, businesses must be responsible for being proactive and flexible, and soon complete the rough construction of the project first. After that, it is expected that after June 2026, entering the rainy season, the interior of the school, multi-purpose building, and official residence will continue to be constructed...", a representative of the Gia Lai Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board informed.
Previously, the Gia Lai provincial government also held meetings related to fluctuations in gasoline and oil prices, and raw materials. The province determined "harmonious benefits, shared risks", key project construction enterprises must continue to stick to the construction site, accelerate progress, and not stop construction because of price increases.
The act of arbitrarily stopping construction will have strong sanctions, even considering "banning" contractors from operating in the province.
Border school projects are implemented in 7 communes: Ia Mo, Ia Puch, Ia Pnon, Ia Nan, Ia Dom, Ia Chia and Ia O, with a total investment of more than 1,500 billion VND, on an area of nearly 52 hectares.
When completed, the projects are expected to serve more than 7,000 students in border areas, where learning conditions are still lacking and the area is remote.
