(Baonghean.vn) - That is the aggregated data of the Nghe An Department of Education and Training on the fluctuations in the province's educational scale by 2025. Among these, secondary school will be the level with the largest increase in the number of students.

According to the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An province, although in recent years, preschool has been the level with the largest increase in the number of children, since 2016, this level has started to decrease. In the next 5 years, preschool is expected to not increase and is the level with the least fluctuations.

At the primary level, the number of students and classes fluctuate but is expected to increase by about 33,000 students.

At the secondary level, at this time, this is the level with the lowest increase (45,000 students/grade). However, by 2025, it is expected that each grade will have about 74,000 students and the entire level is expected to increase by about 91,000 students.

At the high school level, by 2025, current 4th graders will enter 10th grade. If the annual admission rate to 10th grade is 75%, the number of high school students will also increase compared to the present time by about 23,000 students.

With the number of students increasing rapidly, it is expected that in the coming years, Nghe An will have to increase 2,307 classrooms and the need for teachers will also increase.

Meanwhile, at present, the facilities of all levels of education are lacking or quite degraded. Specifically, preschool education has more than 6,800 classrooms, but 42% are semi-permanent classrooms. This rate is 33% for primary education, 23% for secondary education and 4% for high school. The whole province still has 1,220 temporary and borrowed classrooms. To have enough classrooms and teaching equipment, Nghe An needs to invest more than 8,500 billion VND.

In the 2019-2020 school year, the province is expected to increase by more than 20,000 students. Of which, the largest increase is in primary school with more than 18,000 students, and secondary school with more than 2,000 students. The number of 9th graders entering 10th grade increased by 2,800 students compared to this school year. In particular, the number of preschool students increased slightly and remained almost unchanged. With this number of students, Nghe An is also expected to increase by 237 classes compared to this year.
