Hanoi prioritizes land fund to build more public kindergartens

Specifically, the Departmentof Education and Training needs to step up advising the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities to continue reviewing, arranging and supplementing the planning of the school and classroom network; prioritizing land allocation in new urban areas, densely populated areas, and industrial zones to build public kindergartens. At the same time, units need to pay attention to reviewing and researching to merge or separate kindergartens, or gather separate schools to suit actual conditions to improve conditions for caring for, nurturing and educating children. Schools with limited area need to base on regulations to advise local authorities and functional agencies on design plans to ensure maximum functionality.
