5 teacher households in the dormitory area of ​​the Provincial Boarding High School for Ethnic Minorities do not have land use rights.

On May 8, the Provincial People's Committee Office said that the Provincial People's Committee leaders had just issued a document announcing the results of the inspection and review of the dossiers for granting Land Use Right Certificates and the handling plan.Application letter at Nghe An Ethnic Boarding High School.

The inspection results show that the Provincial People's Committee issued a Decision on recognizing land use rights and granting a Land Use Right Certificate to Nghe An Ethnic Boarding High School in 2019 in accordance with legal regulations. The process and procedures for the dossier were implemented in accordance with the provisions of Article 25, Decree No. 43/2014/ND-CP dated May 15, 2014 of the Government; Article 8, Circular No. 24/2014/TT-BTNMT dated May 19, 2014 of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment; Clause 1, Article 5, Decision No. 81/2014/QD-UBND dated October 27, 2014 of Nghe An Provincial People's Committee.

The fact that Nghe An Ethnic Boarding High School did not fully report the current status in the application for a Certificate of Land Use Rights (not declaring that there were 5 collective houses), the Provincial Land Registration Office, Vinh City People's Committee, and Ha Huy Tap Ward People's Committee did not fully report to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment the current status of the land area of ​​the 5 collective houses: This content has been concluded by Vinh City People's Committee and Ha Huy Tap Ward People's Committee, affirming that the entire area of ​​the 5 collective houses is part of the land area that the Provincial People's Committee has allowed Nghe An Ethnic Boarding High School (formerly Nghe Tinh Highland High School) to use since 1984.

“The omission in the process of declaration, review, and recognition of land use rights in 2019 did not change the results of granting the Land Use Rights Certificate to Nghe An Ethnic Boarding High School and 5 households using land in the Collective Area (including Mr. Nguyen Van Ky's household) did not have the right to use land for the above location. On the other hand, based on the provisions of Clause 2, Article 106 of the 2013 Land Law: The omission in declaration and inspection of the current status did not lead to incorrect land use area and land users, so it is not a case where the State revokes the granted Land Use Rights Certificate”, the announcement of the inspection results of the Provincial People's Committee stated.

Regarding the content, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment proposed that the Provincial People's Committee allow the Vinh City People's Committee to continue applying Decision No. 78/2014/QD-UBND dated October 27, 2014 of the Provincial People's Committee to consider and allocate residential land without auction to Mr. Nguyen Van Ky according to Decision No. 78/214/QD-UBND dated October 27, 2014 of the Provincial People's Committee if qualified. Currently, Decision No. 78/2014/QD-UBND dated October 27, 2014 of the Provincial People's Committee has expired since March 18, 2024.

Therefore, the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to chair a meeting including: Provincial Inspectorate, Department of Justice, Department of Education and Training, Vinh City People's Committee, Nghe An Ethnic Boarding High School to review and advise the Provincial People's Committee to resolve the above content to ensure compliance with legal regulations. The results will be reported to the Provincial People's Committee before May 31, 2024.

Previously, as Nghe An Newspaper hadmany articles,In 2006, the provincial Ethnic Boarding High School lent 3 teachers’ dormitories and 2 other families land within the school grounds to build houses. The loan contract clearly stated that these 5 teachers had to commit to “not expanding beyond the designated area; The period of use is until the school has a need, then at least 12 months’ notice is given so that the families can find a place to live…”.

However, during their stay, many households violated their contract commitments by renovating and expanding beyond the borrowed area without permission from the school. After that, some people, even though they retired and returned to their hometowns 15 years ago, and some people had built their own houses outside for a long time, still refused to return the dormitory to the school.

In 2019, after requesting funding to invest in the dormitory project for students, the school leaders worked with 5 households, asking them to move within 1 year so that the school could clear the land to build a dormitory for students as committed in the contract. At that time, only 1 household had no opinion. The remaining households asked for 3 years to arrange to move. The school agreed to the 3-year period.

However, after 3 years, in October 2023, the project was started but 5 households still refused to hand over the site for construction. The construction unit had to send many documents to the investor complaining about the delay in handing over the site, causing workers to wait for work and the risk of having their investment capital cut off due to slow progress.

After hundreds of meetings and campaigns, up to now, 3 households who borrowed the school's dormitory have agreed to move out and hand over the land. The other 2 households who paid for the construction on the school's land have not yet returned it./.
