Worrying reality

Quang Ngai has 585 educational units and establishments, of which the ethnic boarding school system has 7 schools, including 1 provincial ethnic boarding high school and 6 ethnic boarding secondary schools in 5 mountainous districts; 32 semi-boarding ethnic schools in Ba To, Minh Long, Son Ha, Son Tay and Tra Bong districts. In addition, the province has 3 universities and 6 colleges.

Notably, 18 of these schools have dormitories, but the vast majority do not ensure fire prevention and fighting (PCCC) work, posing many potential risks of fire and explosion.

According to Deputy Director of Quang Ngai Provincial Police - Colonel Hoang Anh Tuan, through inspection, many schools were found to have violated fire prevention and fighting regulations. In particular, 5 ethnic boarding schools, including the provincial ethnic boarding high school located in Quang Ngai city and 4 ethnic boarding middle schools in the mountainous districts of Son Tay, Son Ha, Ba To, and Tra Bong, all violated fire prevention and fighting regulations.

“Some dormitories in schools have an initial scale that is not subject to approval and acceptance of fire prevention and fighting. During the operation, there are repairs, renovations or new constructions that are subject to approval but no funding is allocated. Schools that violate regulations are subject to temporary suspension of operations. However, this will affect the students' learning, so it must be calculated reasonably, if not impossible to handle” - Colonel Hoang Anh Tuan informed.

The recent monitoring of the organization and operation of ethnic boarding schools in the province by the Ethnic Council of the Quang Ngai Provincial People's Council also showed that the dormitories of ethnic boarding schools have a high density of students, however, fire prevention and fighting work has not been given due attention and assurance, leading to many potential risks of fire and explosion.

Regarding fire prevention and fighting at ethnic boarding schools, Director of the Department of Education and Training of Quang Ngai province Nguyen Ngoc Thai admitted that currently, boarding schools in Son Ha, Son Tay, Tra Bong, and Ba To districts have not ensured fire prevention and fighting work, and even do not have fire fighting equipment.

Mr. Thai said that, according to the decentralization, the Department only manages the high school system and 1 provincial ethnic boarding high school located in Quang Ngai City, while boarding and semi-boarding secondary schools are managed by districts. For universities and colleges in the area managed by the managing units, investment in fire prevention and fighting depends on the managing units.

Fire fighting equipment at schools is quite rudimentary and does not meet standards.

In fact, the ethnic boarding schools in mountainous districts previously invested in fire protection systems, but they were rudimentary, such as mini sprayers, water wells or water tanks and some other equipment, and had not been systematically invested in. Currently, the Department of Education and Training is investing in upgrading the fire protection items for the province's ethnic boarding high schools.

“In 2023-2024, the Department has advised the Provincial People's Committee to allocate over 6 billion VND to carry out 5 fire prevention and fighting projects in high schools. I hope that the People's Committees of districts with boarding and semi-boarding schools will support fire prevention and fighting,” said Mr. Thai.

Investing in fire prevention and fighting in the education sector cannot be done overnight because there are many facilities scattered throughout districts, towns and cities. The key issue is to raise awareness of fire prevention and fighting and provide skills training for teachers and students.

“In the past, we did not pay attention to investing in fire prevention and fighting, now we have to do it step by step. Therefore, in addition to propaganda, education, persuasion, and mobilization, we must strictly handle and strictly implement State management in the field of fire prevention and fighting. Do not wait until the cow is lost to build a barn, and only when the consequences occur do we calculate solutions, requirements, and tasks" - Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairwoman of the People's Council of Quang Ngai province Bui Thi Quynh Van suggested.
