Although it has been merged for 8 years, the school still maintains 2 campuses. The second campus in Nghia Loc commune has seriously degraded. To ensure the safety of students, the entire block of classrooms has been divided into boundaries and posted with signs "Dangerous area, no access". Photo: Duc Anh |

| Previously, at the beginning of this school year (September 20), after a heavy rain, many items of the 4th grade classroom building that had been built for more than 20 years suddenly collapsed. Photo: Duc Anh |

| The walls have been damaged and peeling due to being built a long time ago. Photo: Duc Anh |

| Fortunately, the roof collapse happened in the middle of the night, so no one was injured. However, the classrooms after this incident were in a dangerous and urgent state, unusable, and the school was forced to suspend operations. Photo: Duc Anh |

| Lacking classrooms for students, the school had to convert functional classrooms into classrooms for students. Due to lack of classrooms for the remaining four classes, parents and the school had to convert a row of houses that used to be bicycle garages into temporary classrooms. Photo: Duc Anh |

| For nearly 3 months studying in temporary classrooms, more than 150 students have had to endure many difficulties and harsh weather conditions. This season, because there is no shelter, rain and wind blow into every classroom. Meanwhile, organizing teaching is also extremely difficult because the classrooms are almost connected; the teacher's lecture will echo to the neighboring classrooms. Photo: Duc Anh |

| Because the classrooms are only separated by corrugated iron sheets, soundproofing is very difficult. Photo: Duc Anh |
 |
| The classroom is in the garage so the area is not guaranteed. The desks, chairs, and teaching equipment are rudimentary. There are many periods, but learning cannot be guaranteed because of the noise. When it is sunny, it is too hot, and when it rains, the rain splashes into each classroom. If it rains heavily, the rain falling on the corrugated iron roof drowns out the teachers' voices. Photo: Duc Anh |

| Loc Long Secondary School currently has nearly 400 students, many of whom are from poor or near-poor households and are Thanh ethnic students. Loc Long School is currently located in Hamlet 135. Photo: Duc Anh |

| According to the school development plan, the school will have 2 more classes next year and 4 more classes in the 2022-2023 school year. In the current context of a shortage of classrooms, teacher Truong Thi Nham - Principal of the school said: It is very difficult to organize quality teaching and learning. Meanwhile, in just a few months, the new comprehensive general education program will be implemented for 6th graders; with the current facilities, it is difficult to meet the requirements.
