Thanks to the attention of the Central Government, the determination of the entire political system and the efforts of the teaching staff, the quality of education in Lao Cai has been increasingly improved, ranking among the leading groups in the northern mountainous region.

Comrade Tran Huy Tuan, Chairman of Lao Cai Provincial People's Committee spoke.

However, the learning and living conditions of students in the highlands and border areas are still lacking; many places still lack classrooms and boarding houses, and the living conditions of teachers and students are still difficult. Therefore, the groundbreaking ceremony of the construction of 4 inter-level boarding schools today is a great joy, a new milestone in the education career of the highlands on the journey of national development; contributing to improving people's knowledge, training human resources, and nurturing talents.

The Chairman of the Lao Cai Provincial People's Committee also affirmed: The policy of building a system of inter-level boarding schools in border communes is a strategic visionary decision imbued with the profound humanity of our Party and State. This is not only an educational project, but also a project of faith and national solidarity, demonstrating the steadfast will of "strong borders, prosperous people".

Lao Cai commits to hand over clean land, creating the most favorable conditions for the construction unit to implement the project on schedule, ensuring quality and safety. The locality also strengthens inspection, supervision, and strictly implements regulations on investment management, preventing negativity, loss, and waste.
