Regarding school facilities, recently after the incidentceiling collapseAt Hermann Gmeiner High School, the Department of Education and Training has issued a document requesting schools to strengthen solutions to ensure student safety.

In particular, schools are required to proactively coordinate with local professional agencies to conduct inspections and review of all existing school facilities, reassess the quality of works, make plans to renovate and repair facilities, tree systems, fences, electrical systems, etc. to ensure safety for students and teachers.

In particular, facilities and constructions that have expired or are unsafe should not be put into use without being renovated, upgraded, repaired or newly built. At the same time, inspection and supervision of high-risk areas such as fire, flooding, landslides in educational facilities, especially dormitories, semi-boarding areas, laboratories, etc. should be strengthened.

To improve school facilities, in 2019, the Provincial People's Committee also issued Plan No. 305/KH - UBND on the implementation of the project to ensure facilities for the Preschool and General Education Program until 2025 in Nghe An province. In particular, the goal is that at the preschool level, each class group has 1 common room with sanitary facilities. Each school has 1 room for organizing physical education activities and 1 art classroom.

For the remaining levels, each class has at least one separate classroom. Each school has one physical education room, one art education room, one computer room, one foreign language room, an equipment room, a library room and other subject rooms.

According to this plan, the province will invest in building 3,555 new classrooms to replace temporary classrooms, borrowed classrooms or semi-permanent classrooms. In addition, it will invest in building 1,528 more classrooms for additional classes due to the increase in students.

This plan will also implement the construction of more than 7,000 functional classrooms, practice rooms, libraries, kitchens, and warehouses for schools. The total budget for implementing this plan is more than VND 8,500 billion (including purchasing school equipment). The capital source is from the public investment plan, program and project budgets, social mobilization budgets, and other legal sources.
