Chairman of People's Committee Phan Van Mai discussed with leaders of Binh Chanh district on September 5.
Speaking to leaders of Binh Chanh district while attending the inauguration and opening ceremony of the new school year at Rach Gia Primary School (HCMC) on September 5, Chairman of the HCMC People's Committee Phan Van Mai informed that this week, he and the Department of Education and Training will implement a plan to build 4,500 new classrooms by 2025, towards the goal of 300 classrooms/10,000 school-age people. In addition to mobilizing the budget for implementation, the city will also call for socialized investment from the community.
In addition, the city will consider building "field" schools in some densely populated areas to share the pressure of the lack of classrooms. Specifically, the "field" schools will operate for a certain period of time from 5 to 10 years until the need is gone. Although called "field", the quality must be good, ensure safety and meet the needs of teaching and learning before new schools are built, Mr. Mai said. One of the forms proposed by the leaders is to renovate the factories of enterprises.
The pressure of lack of schools is currently a challenge that Ho Chi Minh City is facing, in the context that the city increases by an average of 20,000-40,000 students each year. During a meeting between the Department of Education and Training with the leaders of Thu Duc City and districts on coordination to improve the quality of education, Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City, said that the city's land issue is very difficult.
Rach Gia Primary School (Binh Chanh District) has an investment of 131 billion VND and an area of nearly 12,000 square meters. It is one of the newly built schools put into use this school year.
One of the "bottlenecks" mentioned is Circular 13 of the Ministry of Education and Training on school facilities standards, with the regulation that primary schools must not exceed 2 floors, and secondary schools must not exceed 3 floors. This makes it impossible for Ho Chi Minh City to "manage" land for school construction.
For that reason, the head of the city's education sector said that the Department of Education and Training has consulted with the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to propose that the Ministry of Education and Training adjust Circular 13, allowing Ho Chi Minh City to calculate on the construction floor area per student and schools can have multiple floors and add floors.
Previously, in the school construction plan, Ho Chi Minh City set a goal of completing the construction of 4,500 new classrooms by 2025, an increase of 3,537 classrooms compared to the present. In the 2023-2024 school year alone, the city will put 48 schools into use, with a total of 512 newly built classrooms, an increase of 367 classrooms compared to before. The new schools put into use are concentrated in districts 5, 10, Binh Thanh, Hoc Mon district and Thu Duc city.
