Network arrangement, investment in school facilities
Ngoc Son Primary School has 606 students in 20 classes. At the main school, there are 10 classes. The remaining classes have long been studying at Lam Thang and Thanh Nam schools. Meanwhile, at the Thanh Nam satellite school, built in 1976, the facilities are seriously degraded, posing a risk of being unsafe, especially during the rainy and stormy season. In addition, at the satellite school, there are only 5 classes with 152 students, making it difficult to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Therefore, in April 2024, Thanh Chuong district merged the Thanh Nam campus of Ngoc Son Primary School with the main school.
To create conditions for students to study in a better environment, Thanh Chuong district and commune have built 6 new classrooms, renovated and upgraded the office, 5 functional rooms; purchased 30 new computers, 11 televisions, 70 sets of tables and chairs and many auxiliary works with a total value of more than 8.8 billion VND to serve teaching and learning at the main point.
However, when implementing the merger, some parents did not have the right awareness and objected with reasons such as the long distance, but after being informed and explained, the parents agreed. By the beginning of May 2024, 100% of students from Thanh Nam satellite school had transferred to study at Ngoc Son Primary School with a happy and excited atmosphere.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tung - a resident of Nam Phong hamlet, Ngoc Son commune affirmed: Students studying in isolated locations are not safe, and learning conditions are not adequate. Thanks to the school merger, students can study in a more spacious, clean and fully equipped school. Thanks to the school merger, children can participate in exciting and useful extracurricular activities so that students can have conditions to develop more comprehensively.

Merging schools is a policy of the Party, the State and the Education and Training sector, an inevitable requirement in the current period, in line with the policy of fundamental and comprehensive education innovation. In particular, in response to the specific requirements on human resources and material resources when implementing the 2018 General Education Program. Therefore, in the 2020 - 2025 term, the Thanh Chuong District Party Committee issued Resolution No. 09, the District People's Committee issued Project No. 2119 on approving the Project "Planning the network of schools, improving the quality of education associated with building schools that meet national standards in the period of 2021 - 2025" and associated with the arrangement of administrative units. As a result, after 3 years of implementation, the whole district merged 11 separate points and 12 schools.
At the same time, the district is interested in investing in school and classroom facilities. Accordingly, in the 2023-2024 school year, the District People's Committee, together with the People's Committees of communes and towns, has prioritized allocating funding sources to build, supplement, and upgrade school facilities, nearly 130 billion VND to build 126 new cultural classrooms, 74 other classrooms, 16 toilets, and many other auxiliary works.
Socialization and fundraising activities have been implemented flexibly and effectively. In the 2023-2024 school year, schools have been proactive in sharing needs, connecting generations of school students, businesses, philanthropists, parents... to support with a total budget equivalent to 21 billion VND to repair facilities and purchase teaching equipment. With the active participation of teachers, students, support from parents, and local socio-political organizations, the pedagogical landscape of schools has changed.
After 3 years of implementing Project 2119 of the District People's Committee, 8 schools were recognized as national standards for the first time, 5 schools were upgraded to level 2 standards, and 50 schools were recognized again after 5 years. Up to now, the number of schools meeting national standards is 96/115, a rate of 83.47%. Regarding facilities, teaching and learning equipment has been invested in a sufficient, synchronous and modern direction. The improvement of facilities has promoted the application of information technology and digital transformation to innovate teachers' teaching methods and school management.

Up to now, the team of teachers and managers has basically ensured quantity and quality, has professional ethics, enthusiasm, responsibility, creativity, and completed tasks well. The arrangement and placement of management staff and teachers generally complies with regulations and is suitable for the characteristics of the basic education levels and levels to meet the 2018 General Education Program.
For example, at Thanh Chuong 1 High School, in the past 10 years, the school has maintained 33 classes with more than 1,300 students and 84 staff and teachers, including 37 teachers with above-standard professional qualifications, many of whom are professional core of the Department of Education and Training.
