Binh Tan District is lacking 1,226 classrooms for primary and secondary schools.

With a large number of school-age children and limited classrooms, the district has set a public investment target for the 2020-2025 period focusing on school projects.

In the 2024-2025 period, the district will allocate VND10,231 billion for 101 projects, including 42 projects in the education and training sector with VND4,819 billion. The district also developed a project to implement public investment in schools, with the goal of building 700-1,000 classrooms by 2025.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Binh Tan district will put into operation 7 new public schools (1 kindergarten, 5 primary schools and 1 secondary school) with 204 classrooms, bringing the total number of classrooms to 4,061 (public is 2,131 classrooms).

With an estimated number of 124,237 students (public schools are 97,907), the locality has basically solved the problem of finding places for students to study. Thanks to 7 new school buildings, it is expected that in the next school year, the number of students per class at primary level will decrease (37 students per class), while the number of students per class at secondary level will remain stable at 45 students compared to the previous school year.

Not only that, the People's Committee of Binh Tan District proposed that Ho Chi Minh City continue to supplement medium-term investment for the period 2026-2030 for 23 schools with 709 classrooms. The District will coordinate with departments and branches to review land funds of corporations that are currently vacant to build schools; call for socialized investment in primary and secondary schools.
