Huynh Thuc Khang High School will open branch 2

At the discussion session, referring to a number of issues related to the education sector, delegate Nguyen Duy Can, Vinh City Delegation, shared the concerns and worries of Vinh City voters about the fact that there are currently too few public high schools in the area, creating great pressure for parents and students.

According to the delegate, the above situation has led to many parents and students being afraid of not getting the passing score to enter public high schools in the city, so they have accepted going to school far away and facing difficulties in living to choose to register for entrance exams to public high schools in the districts.

According to the Vinh city delegate, in reality, some students, after passing the exam and studying at district schools for a while, will tend to transfer to study in Vinh city, which will put pressure on the city's schools.

In addition, delegate Nguyen Duy Can also raised the issue of local teacher surplus and shortage in some areas of the province. The facilities of schools in remote areas, areas with difficult economic and social conditions are still lacking, especially at school locations, affecting the quality of teaching and learning.

Based on the above three opinions, the delegates requested the Provincial People's Committee, authorities at all levels, and the Education and Training sector to pay attention to handling them to meet the requirements of teaching and learning, especially in Vinh city.

Also related to the education sector, delegate Hoang Thi Hong Hanh, the delegation of Do Luong district, expressed her opinion: Building a school that meets national standards is one of the key tasks of the Education and Training sector to contribute to improving the quality of comprehensive education, and is also one of the criteria for building new rural communes and advanced new rural areas.

However, the delegate said that after many years of implementation, there are still many difficulties and problems when the facilities and investment resources have not met practical requirements; thereby, he requested the Education sector to clarify the results and solutions for building national standard schools in the province.

Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training Vo Van Mai explained the opinions of the delegates; thereby, he said that, due to the pressure of enrollment in Vinh city, the industry has consulted to establish the second branch of Huynh Thuc Khang High School.

Particularly in the 2024-2025 school year, due to the sudden increase in the population size of the age group, the industry has had a solution to increase the number of students enrolled and the number of classes in public high schools to the maximum possible level, thereby increasing the proportion of students of the age group attending public high schools when no more schools can be opened.

Regarding the goal of building national standard schools, the leader of the Department of Education and Training said that up to now, 77.3% of schools in the province have been recognized as meeting national standards with an absolute number of 1,104/1,427 public educational institutions; the remaining 323 schools have not been recognized, including schools that have been recognized but have not been re-recognized after the deadline.

Clarifying further solutions to build schools that meet national standards, the Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training affirmed that the target of 75 - 78% of schools meeting national standards by 2025 will certainly be achieved according to the Resolution of the 19th Provincial Party Congress.
