The Chairman of the District People's Committee assigned Khai Lang Secondary School and Tao Son Secondary School to prepare the best conditions for students to study at school and have a plan to update knowledge for students during the recent school break. Khai Lang Secondary School must focus on improving the quality of teaching at the two schools Lang Son and Khai Son.

At the same time, the Chairman of the District People's Committee also assigned the District Police to continue investigating and strictly handling organizations and individuals who obstruct, threaten, and prohibit students from going to school. At the same time, coordinate with schools and localities to ensure traffic safety, school security, and prevent social evils and school violence.

In addition, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Anh Son district also requested parents to send their students to school according to the plan approved by the Provincial People's Committee in the 2022-2023 school year (grades 6, 7, 8 will study at Lang Son school, grade 9 will study at Khai Son or Tao Son according to their wishes). Parents are requested to coordinate with schools and the People's Committee of Lang Son commune to ensure traffic safety and school security, and prevent social evils and school violence.

The leaders of Anh Son district assigned the People's Committee of Lang Son commune to promptly handle and temporarily repair degraded road sections in the commune adjacent to the Ho Chi Minh trail to ensure convenient travel for people and students to school.

Previously, as Nghe An Newspaper has reported many times, since the opening ceremony, hundreds of people gathered in front of the gate of Khai Lang Secondary School, Campus 2, located in Lang Son Commune, Anh Son District to protest the school merger. Many students were prevented from entering the classroom to study. Therefore, in the past few days, only a small number of students were allowed to go to school.

Meanwhile, the leader of Anh Son district said that the merger of Lang Son Secondary School and Khai Son Secondary School was implemented by the People's Committee of Anh Son district from the 2018-2019 school year, into Khai Lang Secondary School (located in Khai Son commune). The new school is more than 4 km away from the old Lang Son Secondary School. Currently, the project has been approved and implemented, but after 4 years of study, only grade 9 has transferred to the main Khai Lang Secondary School. Grades 6, 7, and 8 of Lang Son commune still study at the second facility.

According to the schedule, at the beginning of this school year, all grades 6, 7, and 8 will be transferred to the new school. However, upon receiving the information, many households simultaneously sent letters of protest because they thought the distance was too far and the facilities were not guaranteed. Realizing that some people still did not agree, on July 15, the Standing Committee of Anh Son District Party Committee issued a notice on the decision not to merge the remaining grades of Lang Son school to Khai Son school in the 2022-2023 school year. However, as informed, many people are still not satisfied, they continue to not let their children go to school to put pressure, demanding the cancellation of the school merger project issued 4 years ago...
