This is not only an infrastructure investment, but also a superior social policy, aiming to create the most favorable conditions for ethnic minority children to study and train in a good environment, developing comprehensively in Morality - Intelligence - Fitness - Aesthetics, life skills, digital skills and international integration skills.
"We still talk about the "five bests" in the mountainous areas: the most difficult transportation, the most lacking infrastructure, the highest poverty rate, the most lacking staff, and the lowest level of education. It's time we can no longer accept this situation. Equity - especially equity in education and training - is the key to giving children the opportunity to develop, mature, become useful citizens, and contribute to building a rich and beautiful homeland," the Minister emphasized.
To complete the project soon, the Minister requested: The Provincial Party Committee and authorities at all levels to identify this as an important political task; proactively coordinate, create the best conditions for site clearance, land and resource allocation; support construction, ensure progress, quality and absolute safety. The design, construction and supervision units work with enthusiasm and professional ethics, considering this a project of trust and the future.
Each category must demonstrate responsibility to make the school a modern, safe, friendly, green - clean - beautiful model, meeting the expectations of the Party, the State and the people in the border area. Central ministries and branches (Ministry of Education and Training, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Construction and relevant agencies) coordinate closely, research and perfect mechanisms and policies for synchronous, effective and sustainable implementation.
