Construction began in March 2017, with Khai Son Primary School consisting of two two-story buildings including 18 classrooms and a nine-room administrative building. Once completed and put into use, the project will provide more than 400 students in Khai Son Commune and neighboring communes with a new, spacious, clean and beautiful place to study.

The total investment cost for building the school is nearly 12 billion VND (of which 7.2 billion VND was mobilized by Viettel).

The old Khai Son Primary School was built more than 30 years ago with seriously degraded grade four classrooms. The school gate is very steep, adjacent to National Highway 7, posing a high risk of traffic safety, especially at the end of school hours.

Therefore, putting the new school into use meets the urgent needs of teaching and learning of teachers and students here.

Colonel Hoang Son - Deputy General Director of Viettel Military Telecommunications Group affirmed that Viettel's viewpoint is that investing in education is investing in the future of the country.
