According to the approved project, the schools will be built on land areas ranging from 6.2 to 8.6 hectares, ensuring teaching and learning conditions for 980-1,200 students per school, with a total investment of 945 billion VND for the four schools. All four boarding schools are designed in a modern style, yet still retain the distinctive ethnic identity of the locality. They will be comprehensively invested in, including classrooms, administrative buildings, dining halls, dormitories, teacher housing, multi-purpose halls, and other essential infrastructure.
On this occasion, Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra presented 200 gifts to 200 disadvantaged students in the communes of Muong Khuong, Pha Long, Y Ty, and A Mu Sung, encouraging them to overcome difficulties and strive for excellence in their studies. Furthermore, in anticipation of the upcoming Vietnamese Teachers' Day on November 20th, the Deputy Prime Minister also presented gifts to Muong Khuong Kindergarten in Muong Khuong commune, demonstrating her deep concern for the teachers and students in this mountainous region.

Ms. Phung Thi Binh, Deputy General Director of Agribank, presented a donation of 1 billion VND worth of computer rooms to 4 boarding schools at all levels. |
On this occasion, Ms. Phung Thi Binh, Deputy General Director of Agribank, also donated 4 computer rooms worth 1 billion VND to 4 schools in the communes of Muong Khuong, Y Ty, Pha Long, and A Mu Sung. The new computer rooms will help students access technology, contributing to the implementation of digital transformation in teaching and learning in the mountainous and border areas that still face many difficulties.
Lao Cai is a mountainous border province in northern Vietnam, with a 182 km border shared with Yunnan Province (China), encompassing 9 border communes and wards. Over 90% of the population in these border communes are ethnic minorities, facing significant hardship. Therefore, education in these mountainous areas is a priority. The province currently has over 1,000 educational institutions with nearly 500,000 students, including 17 ethnic boarding schools and 182 semi-boarding schools, benefiting nearly 65,000 students who receive government support. Thanks to the attention of the central government, the determination of the entire political system, and the efforts of the teaching staff, the quality of education in Lao Cai is steadily improving, ranking among the leading provinces in the northern mountainous region.
However, the learning and living conditions of students in mountainous and border areas are still inadequate; many places lack classrooms and boarding facilities, and both teachers and students face many difficulties. Therefore, the commencement of construction of four multi-level boarding schools in border communes of Lao Cai province is a great joy, marking a new milestone in the education of mountainous regions on the path of national development; contributing to raising the intellectual level of the people, training human resources, and nurturing talents for the future.

Agribank pays special attention to social welfare activities for the education sector. |
Agribank has always been proactive and actively involved in social welfare activities for the development of the community. For many years, Agribank has been honored as the "Bank for the Community". Annually, Agribank allocates 500-700 billion VND to social welfare work, focusing on areas such as healthcare, education, building charitable houses, and solidarity houses.
Agribank pays special attention to social welfare in the field of education. Every year, Agribank sponsors the construction, repair, or upgrading of hundreds of school buildings in mountainous, island, remote, and disadvantaged areas. These spacious schools with sturdy boarding facilities help students avoid walking dozens of kilometers every day; libraries with ample books become places to nurture the dreams of students... Beyond contributing to the construction of modern and clean school facilities, Agribank also provides tens of thousands of scholarships, bicycles, books, and computers to underprivileged students, helping them to realize their dreams.
Not only has Agribank carried out social welfare work in Lao Cai, but recently it has continuously implemented timely social welfare programs to support localities affected by storms and floods, especially in the Central region. Immediately after heavy rains caused deep flooding, landslides, and severe damage, Agribank sent working groups to Nghe An, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Thua Thien Hue, and many other provinces to directly assess the situation and coordinate with local authorities to help people restore production and stabilize their lives. In the past two months alone, Agribank has allocated over 70 billion VND to support the construction of houses, repair of schools, medical equipment, and public works damaged by storms and floods; and simultaneously distributed thousands of essential gifts to households in flooded areas. In parallel, Agribank has also implemented many preferential credit policies such as interest rate reductions, debt restructuring, debt deferral, and production recovery loan packages to help people overcome difficulties as soon as possible.
By participating in the groundbreaking ceremony for multi-level boarding schools in Lao Cai, and with practical gifts for teachers and students in the mountainous and border areas of the North, Agribank continues to affirm its social responsibility as a community-oriented bank – where every shared value is aimed at a better future for the younger generation and the future of the country. Agribank will continue to join hands with localities nationwide to build more schools, classrooms, and bridges of knowledge to disadvantaged areas – helping students' dreams become a reality in the future.
