Leaders of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City require districts to review and forecast the number of students.
On August 6, according to information from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, in the new school year 2023-2024, the Ho Chi Minh City education sector will continue to promote digitalization of management of investment in school facilities and equipment. Accordingly, the department will implement software to monitor the use of teaching equipment at schools to promptly supplement and repair, meeting the teaching needs of students.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, each school year in the city, each level of education increases by an average of 10,000 to 15,000 students. There are even years when there is a sudden increase due to the influence and impact of the concept of "golden" birth year. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the number of junior high school students increased by nearly 40,000, causing junior high schools to be overloaded when meeting the demand for 100% of students entering grade 6.
Therefore, Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, requested: "Localities should focus on building schools and persistently consulting with localities. Heads of education departments must regularly, persistently, and resolutely advise on educational land funds in the district's general planning. Reviewing children of different ages, planning, and forecasting in the future is necessary and important to make primary school enrollment more and more convenient."
According to statistics from the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, as of March 2023, the whole city had 117 education projects behind schedule due to problems with compensation for site clearance, plans not yet approved, capital allocation not yet allocated, documents not yet completed, land recovery not yet recovered, project adjustments... In which, the most problems were at preschool level with 36 projects, primary school with 49 projects, secondary school with 24 projects. Concentrated in Thu Duc City with 23 projects, followed by Binh Chanh district with 17 projects, Hoc Mon district with 15 projects, Binh Tan district with 12 projects and Tan Phu district with 9 projects...
Therefore, the Department of Education and Training recommends that districts prioritize budget allocation to accelerate the implementation of school construction investment projects according to approved land use plans and planning in accordance with development requirements and the reality of each district. In particular, focusing on areas with high population growth rates or areas with industrial parks and export processing zones (Districts 7, 9, 12, Binh Tan, Go Vap, Thu Duc City, Binh Chanh District, etc.).
