The Provincial People's Committee responded to this issue as follows:

* For investment in construction of primary schools:

According to the regulations on decentralization of budget management and investment in Nghe An province, the state budget according to the Budget Law mainly focuses on investing in the system of high schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities. The system of kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools is under the management of the People's Committees of districts, cities and towns and is included in the infrastructure investment plans of these levels.

However, in the current difficult conditions, the Provincial People's Committee has reported and proposed the Ministry of Education and Training to invest in infrastructure for the kindergarten and primary school system in extremely disadvantaged communes according to Decision No. 204/QD-TTg dated February 1, 2016 of the Prime Minister approving the list of extremely disadvantaged communes, border communes, and safe zone communes eligible for investment in Program 135 in 2016, including the proposed project to build My Ly 2 Primary School.

In program 135, there is investment in community cultural houses; the commune proposes a list for the district to choose the priority investment list in the annual plan. However, the program's capital is limited according to the provisions of the Budget Law, so the investment in building new, renovating and upgrading facilities for the community cultural house system is the responsibility of the district and commune budgets and mobilizing socialized resources./.
