Of which, Dak Glei district has up to 50 schools that are no longer in use after the merger. Many facilities have been abandoned for many years, so they are degraded, damaged or ineffectively managed, causing waste of public assets.
A school in Dak Sao commune was abandoned after the merger, causing waste.
To overcome this, the Dak Glei District Department of Education and Training has reviewed and advised the District People's Committee to consider converting the functions of unused remote schools into community cultural activity centers or transferring them to kindergartens. However, the conversion of functions is facing difficulties in legal procedures, many schools have degraded and are not suitable for their functions and purposes.
In Tu Mo Rong district, there are also many redundant and abandoned schools after the merger. Of which, Kach Lon 2 school belongs to Dak Sao commune primary and secondary boarding school for ethnic minorities, which was put into operation in 2021 to serve students from Kach Lon 1 and Kach Lon 2 villages. At the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year, Kach Lon 2 school was officially merged into Dak Sao commune central school.
Since then, due to the lack of caretakers and security guards, Kach Lon 2 School has become desolate. Weeds have grown all over the grounds, concrete fence posts have broken and fallen. Many glass doors have been broken, and the classrooms have a strong stench.
Ms. Y Thung (38 years old, living in Kach Lon 2 village, Dak Sao commune, Tu Mo Rong district) said that after the school was no longer in use, many young people caused trouble, throwing rocks at the windows, causing damage. After only a few months of abandonment, the school became desolate, no one dared to enter.
According to Mr. Pham Quoc Viet, Principal of Dak Sao Commune Primary and Secondary Boarding School, after receiving the policy of eliminating the school from the Department of Education and Training of Kon Tum province, the school merged two classes 1 and 2 with about 30 students from Kach Lon 2 school and moved to the main school in the commune center. Therefore, in the past few months, this place has been redundant and no longer in use.
After a period of disuse, the schools have deteriorated and fallen into oblivion.
Similarly, the primary school in Dak Ro Nga commune (Dak To district) has also been abandoned for many years. According to Thanh Nien reporters, this school was built in the 1990s, initially in Ngoc Tu commune. In 2005, Dak Ro Nga commune separated from Ngoc Tu commune, so the school ceased operations. Notably, the distance from the school to the commune center is only about 3 km. After that, the school was handed over to a military unit to take over and use. In 2015, when the unit completed its mission, the facility continued to be abandoned until now.
Mr. Lam The Hien, Chairman of Dak Ro Nga Commune People's Committee, said that the locality has a plan to put the Dak Ro Nga primary school into use to avoid waste. Specifically, the locality is calling for investment in projects to produce palm wine and bottled mineral water. However, so far, no businesses have come to invest.
According to the Kon Tum Provincial Department of Finance, the surplus schools after the merger will be transferred to the People's Committees of the districts for management. After that, the People's Committees of the districts will hand them over to the communes for management, arrange for use as village halls or handle them according to the plan, but the localities do not report to the Department of Finance, so the department has not been able to compile specific data.
To learn more about the number of abandoned and surplus schools after the merger and solutions to avoid waste, Thanh Nien reporters contacted the Department of Education and Training of Kon Tum province many times but have yet to receive any feedback.
Many abandoned coastal land projects
The Department of Planning and Investment of Phu Yen province said that by the end of 2024, there would be 38 investment projects in the coastal area of the province, with a total registered investment capital of VND 49,967 billion, but to date, many projects are abandoned.
Of the 38 projects mentioned above, 33 projects were approved by the Provincial People's Committee for investment policy and granted investment registration certificates, with a total registered investment capital of VND 43,348 billion, and 5 projects were won by investors in the auction of land use rights to implement the project, with a total registered investment capital of VND 6,619 billion.
However, for many reasons, many coastal projects in Phu Yen are still abandoned and have not been implemented. Mr. Vo Dinh Tien, Director of the Department of Planning and Investment of Phu Yen province, said that the province has terminated the operation and reclaimed the land of 2 projects.
According to Mr. Tien, in addition to the 2 projects that were terminated and had their land reclaimed, there are currently 12 coastal projects with slow investment progress, mainly because investors cannot reach an agreement to transfer land use rights with people who have land in the project area (not in cases where the state reclaims land).
In addition, according to newly issued regulations, the state must establish construction planning at each level and in accordance with local land use planning, so for some projects, investors must wait for the construction planning project to be approved to have enough basis to establish and submit design documents to the appraisal agency. In addition, there are projects in the implementation process that do not ensure procedures according to regulations, so they must temporarily stop implementation and review procedures, seek guidance from central ministries and branches, etc.
Mr. Tien added that the project with the slowest progress is the high-end resort project Rerock Water Bay Phu Yen of Thang Long Service - Fine Arts Company Limited with an area of 2.32 hectares, the implementation time is until December 2018. Currently, the Department of Planning and Investment of Phu Yen province is considering to handle it according to regulations.
