The leaders of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training have requested that districts and counties review and forecast the number of students.
On August 6th, according to information from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, in the new school year 2023-2024, the city's education sector will continue to promote the digitalization of investment in school facilities and equipment. Accordingly, the department will implement software to monitor the use of teaching equipment in schools to ensure timely supplementation and repair, meeting the teaching needs of students.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, the number of students in each educational level in the city increases by an average of 10,000 to 15,000 each school year. In some years, the increase is even more dramatic due to the influence of the concept of "golden" birth years. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the number of secondary school students increased by nearly 40,000, causing secondary schools to become overloaded as they tried to accommodate 100% of students entering grade 6.
Therefore, Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, requested: "Local authorities should focus on proactively building schools and persistently advise local governments. Heads of education departments must regularly, persistently, and decisively advise on the allocation of land for education in the district's overall planning. Reviewing children of all ages, planning, and forecasting in the long term are necessary and important to make enrollment at the beginning of each school year increasingly smoother."
According to statistics from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training, as of March 2023, the city had 117 education projects that were behind schedule due to issues such as land compensation and clearance, unapproved plans, lack of allocated funds, incomplete documentation, land acquisition, and project adjustments. The projects with the most delays were at the preschool level (36 projects), primary school (49 projects), and secondary school (24 projects). These delays were concentrated in Thu Duc City with 23 projects, followed by Binh Chanh District with 17 projects, Hoc Mon District with 15 projects, Binh Tan District with 12 projects, and Tan Phu District with 9 projects.
Therefore, the Department of Education and Training proposes that districts and counties prioritize allocating budget funds to accelerate the implementation of school construction investment projects according to the approved land use plan and planning, in line with the development requirements and realities of each district and county. This should focus on areas with high population growth rates or areas with industrial zones and export processing zones (districts 7, 9, 12, Binh Tan, Go Vap, Thu Duc City, Binh Chanh District, etc.).
