Four border communes that have invested in building inter-level schools: Buon Don, Ea Bung, Ia Lop and Ia Rve still face many difficulties.

According to the proposal of the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province, each commune will have a boarding school for primary and secondary levels, with a scale of 1,000 students, an area of ​​4 hectares, an investment capital of about 105 billion VND, the total cost of 4 schools is 420 billion VND.

Teachers will be arranged by transfer and supplementary staff, ensuring enough teaching staff when the school comes into operation.

Ms. Le Thi Thanh Xuan - Director of the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province - emphasized: "Building an inter-level boarding school is not only a short-term solution but also creates a long-term foundation for human resource development."

Mr. Do Duy Toai - Chairman of Ea Bung Commune People's Committee - said that building an inter-level boarding school is a suitable policy for border areas.

"Here, the demand for boarding and semi-boarding schools is very high, but there are not enough conditions to meet it. If there is a new, spacious school, the children will have a more complete education, and families will feel secure in sending their children there," Mr. Toai hopes.

In Ia Rve commune, Chairman of the People's Committee Nguyen Van Hoa said: "For the future of our children, we are ready with land funds. Investing in education is the most sustainable investment."

Proposal to combine new construction and renovation for border schools

In the survey, many localities proposed combining new construction and renovation to save budget. In Ia Lop commune, Chairman of the People's Committee Nguyen Van Hieu said that the locality has more than 5 hectares of public land between two existing schools, which is convenient for developing into an inter-level school.

In Ia Rve commune alone, the government is considering two options: building new or upgrading Nguyen Thi Dinh Secondary School.

"New construction requires planning adjustments and higher costs, while upgrading will save money and take advantage of existing facilities," analyzed the chairman of Ia Rve commune.

Director of the Department of Education and Training Le Thi Thanh Xuan requested that communes continue to carefully review land funds, water resources, and forecast school sizes to ensure smooth implementation.

"In particular, the issue of clean water is very important for boarding schools. Students must have adequate food and accommodation so that their families can feel secure sending their children to school," said Ms. Xuan.
