In particular, for preschool and general education establishments, only schools and school locations within the scope of a commune-level administrative unit shall be merged; priority shall be given to retaining schools with favorable conditions (facilities, traffic, concentrated population); and separate schools that do not meet minimum facility standards shall be dissolved. Educational establishments subject to consolidation must be fully prepared with facilities at the main school location. The conversion of land use purposes and facilities at the relocated schools must comply with legal regulations and ensure effective use.

Ensure that each commune-level administrative unit has at least one kindergarten, one primary school and one secondary school. In special cases, it is possible to organize general schools with multiple levels, but separate areas must be arranged for each level, ensuring teaching and learning conditions.

Prioritize multi-level school models (primary and secondary) in sparsely populated areas or places with difficult travel conditions.

At the same time, consider merging kindergartens and small-scale, substandard primary schools in the same commune according to a suitable roadmap.

Arrange and merge continuing education centers, vocational education - continuing education centers into inter-ward and commune vocational education - continuing education centers according to the functions, tasks and organizational structure of vocational education - continuing education centers; merge continuing education centers with inter-ward and commune vocational education - continuing education centers in the same commune-level area.
