Reporting at the conference on the review of the draft resolution amending and supplementing Resolution No. 70/2012/NQ-HDND dated December 13, 2012 of the Provincial People's Council on approving the Education and Training Development Network Planning for the period 2012 - 2020, Director of the Department of Education and Training Nguyen Thi Kim Chi proposed amending and supplementing appendixes No. 01, 02 and clauses 1, 2, 3, 4, section II, article I of Resolution No. 70.

The reason for the need for revision and supplementation is that during the implementation process, there were some inappropriate contents that were no longer suitable to the actual situation. The population of preschool and primary school age increased rapidly; some ethnic minority boarding secondary schools did not meet the conditions to be established according to the plan...

Specifically, from the 2012-2013 school year to the 2017-2018 school year, the province reduced 2 non-public high schools; reduced 283 separate schools, of which preschools reduced 130 schools, primary schools reduced 144 schools, and junior high schools reduced 9 schools; increased 2 non-public junior high schools and primary schools.
