The document stated that, implementing Plan No. 130/KH-BCĐTKNQ18, dated September 21, 2025 of the Central Steering Committee on summarizing the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW and the Central's guiding documents on the arrangement of public service units in the education sector, the Ministry of Education and Training issued Official Dispatch No. 6165/BGDĐT-GDPT, dated October 2, 2025 guiding the arrangement and organization of preschool, general education and continuing education facilities.

Through inspection of the situation of reorganizing the network of educational institutions in a number of localities, it can be seen that many provinces and cities have proactively and resolutely implemented the policy of streamlining the network of public educational institutions in a systematic, scientific, prudent, democratic, public, and transparent manner.

However, there are still some limitations in implementation, potentially affecting teaching and learning organization and ensuring educational security, especially in disadvantaged areas and densely populated urban areas.

To ensure system stability, strictly implement the Central's direction and comply with current regulations, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Education and Training requests the Standing Committees of Provincial Party Committees of provinces and cities to focus on directing the correct implementation of the Central Steering Committee's viewpoint in Plan No. 130 on arranging public service units in the education sector "basically maintaining existing high schools, middle schools, primary schools, inter-level schools and public kindergartens; only propose arrangements and adjustments when really necessary in a convenient direction, serving the needs of people and students".

The Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Education and Training requested the Standing Committees of the Provincial Party Committees of provinces and cities to direct the review and arrangement of separate schools according to a suitable roadmap, focusing on forming, maintaining and developing models of boarding and semi-boarding schools for ethnic minority students at commune or inter-commune centers; prioritizing ensuring safe travel conditions, reasonable distances, not increasing costs and risks for students, especially in difficult areas, borders and islands.

The Standing Committees of the Provincial Party Committees of provinces and cities shall direct a comprehensive assessment of the arrangement plans to develop a suitable implementation roadmap or adjustment plan, ensuring feasibility, stability, and no disruption to teaching and learning activities; temporarily suspend the implementation of plans and public educational institutions that exceed the scale and do not meet the minimum conditions until a full impact assessment is made.

The arrangement must comply with regulations on school and class size; teaching staff and standards; facilities, land fund, population density and geographical conditions; and absolutely must not affect students' right to study.

The Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Education and Training requests that the Standing Committees of Provincial Party Committees of provinces and cities pay attention to directing the review and completion of the plan according to the above contents and inform the results to the Ministry before December 1, 2025.
