Accordingly, in order to ensure the stability, effectiveness and efficiency of the system of preschool, general and continuing education facilities, the Ministry of Education and Training requests the People's Committees of provinces and cities to urgently implement a number of tasks.

Specifically, advise the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee to organize and implement the Central's instructions on the arrangement of public service units in the education sector and the contents in Official Dispatch No. 131-CV/DU dated November 12, 2025 of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Education and Training. Provinces and cities implement the professional instructions of the Ministry of Education and Training in Official Dispatch No. 6165/BGDĐT-GDPT dated October 2, 2025 on the arrangement and organization of preschool, general education and continuing education facilities.

The People's Committees of provinces and cities shall review and arrange the organization and network of public educational institutions according to the instructions and regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training to ensure streamlining and convenience in organizing teaching and learning activities and to suit the local situation. At the same time, the provinces and cities shall speed up the arrangement of kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools, and inter-level schools; focus on forming, maintaining, and developing models of ethnic boarding schools, semi-boarding schools for ethnic minorities, and inter-level boarding schools for students at commune or inter-commune centers to create favorable conditions for students.

The People's Committees of provinces and cities shall strengthen inspection, monitoring, urging and promptly directing the removal of difficulties and obstacles, ensuring stable teaching and learning activities during the arrangement; at the same time, directing the Department of Education and Training, relevant sectors and the People's Committees at the commune level to comprehensively evaluate each arrangement plan, thereby selecting or adjusting a suitable and feasible roadmap. The People's Committees of provinces and cities shall prioritize safe travel conditions, reasonable distances, limiting costs and risks for children, students, trainees... especially in difficult areas, borders, and islands.

The Ministry of Education and Training requested localities to complete the arrangement of preschool, general education and continuing education facilities before December 31, 2025, according to the Central Government's direction.

Previously, on November 12, 2025, the Party Committee of the Ministry of Education and Training issued Document No. 131-CV/DU to the Standing Committees of Provincial Party Committees of provinces and cities on the arrangement and organization of preschool, general education, and continuing education facilities.

Through the inspection of the arrangement of the network of educational institutions in a number of localities, the Ministry of Education and Training found 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 places where the implementation has limitations, potentially affecting the organization of teaching and learning, ensuring educational security, especially in disadvantaged areas and densely populated urban areas.

To ensure system stability, the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Education and Training has requested the Standing Committees of Provincial Party Committees of provinces and cities to focus on directing the correct implementation of the Central Steering Committee's guiding viewpoints in Plan No. 130/KH-BCDDTKNQ18, dated September 21, 2025 of the Steering Committee on "summarizing the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW of the Government on the arrangement of public service units, state-owned enterprises, and organizations within the state administrative system" on the arrangement of public service units in the field of education. Specifically: "Basically keep the existing public high schools, middle schools, primary schools, inter-level schools and kindergartens; only propose arrangements and adjustments when really necessary in a convenient direction, serving the needs of people and students". At the same time, the Standing Committees of the Provincial Party Committees of provinces and cities directed 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.
