Performance at the groundbreaking ceremony.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of an inter-level school in the border commune of Phieng Pan will contribute to realizing the dream of every child in the highlands, remote areas, and isolated areas to have the opportunity to study and develop in the best environment. Along with that, it will create favorable conditions for students to study and practice in a spacious and modern educational environment...

In addition, when the new inter-level school is put into use, there will be a dormitory, a kitchen, a subject room, a library, and a physical activity area, creating conditions for comprehensive learning and development. At the same time, it will help students no longer have to travel far to school, saving time and effort, especially for students in remote villages.

It can be said that this is a project that demonstrates the deep concern of the State for the children of ethnic minorities, helping them have the opportunity to access education fairly, not being left behind. From there, it opens the door to knowledge and creates motivation for students to nurture their dreams of flying far, contributing to the development of the country in the future.

Mr. Ha Xuan Liem, Secretary of the Party Committee of Phieng Pan commune, spoke.

Phieng Pan commune was established on the basis of merging three old communes: Chieng Luong, Phieng Pan and Na Ot (all three communes of region III, especially difficult). With an important position in terms of national security and defense, it has a 6.89 km long border with Na Tong cluster, Xieng Kho district, Hua Phan province (Lao People's Democratic Republic).

The commune has a total natural area of more than 320 km2, a population of about 24,000 people with 5 ethnic groups living together; the general educational level is still low, the life of the majority of the people is still difficult, the poverty rate accounts for 21.6%.

Delegates attending the groundbreaking ceremony.

Currently, in Phieng Pan commune, there are 2 primary schools, 3 primary - secondary schools with 33 school locations, 153 classrooms, serving more than 4,500 students, of which about 1,500 are boarding students. However, the school facilities in many places are seriously degraded, most schools lack functional rooms, subject rooms, libraries, playgrounds, dormitories and lack a lot of teaching equipment...; on the other hand, due to the large area of the commune, students' travel and study face many obstacles.

The Party's will and the people's heart

Ms. Cam Thi Lang, Mon II village, Phieng Pan commune said: "My family has 30 square meters of land to grow sugarcane. When the State propagandized and mobilized us to take the land, I was very supportive and had no objections. I hope the school will soon be put into operation so that our children in the village can study in a more spacious school. We are very happy and excited."

Phieng Pan Commune Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary and Secondary School is built on 4.9 hectares.

According to the design, Phieng Pan Commune Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary and Secondary School is invested in a modern and synchronous manner with a scale of 30 classrooms; dormitory, subject classrooms, multi-purpose hall, library, sports field... to meet the learning needs of more than 1,000 primary and secondary school students who are children of ethnic minorities in the border areas, with a total investment of 216 billion VND. This project is constructed by Corporation 319 - Ministry of National Defense.

Machinery and construction equipment have been prepared by the investor.

Mr. Ha Xuan Liem, Secretary of the Party Committee of Phieng Pan Commune, said: Due to the border area, the terrain is mountainous and rugged, and the people's lives are still difficult. The groundbreaking of this school not only helps students have better learning and training conditions but also contributes to preserving cultural identity and creating a source of future cadres for the locality. Thereby, it contributes to strengthening national defense and border security, promoting socio-economic development, eliminating hunger and reducing poverty, and preserving national cultural identity.

“I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee of Son La province, departments, branches and sectors of the province for their close attention and direction of the project. In particular, I would like to thank the people of Mon 1 and Mon 2 villages for their agreement, land donation and support so that the project can start as planned,” said Mr. Liem.
