This morning, for the first time in history, 72 boarding schools were simultaneously started.

(Dan Tri) - This morning (November 9), for the first time in history, 72 schools in the list of 100 primary and secondary boarding schools were simultaneously started in 14 localities.

The groundbreaking ceremony, chaired by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), was broadcast live on VTV1 channel of Vietnam Television from 9:00 to 10:30 this morning, connecting 14 points across the country.

The remaining 3 localities, due to the impact of storms and floods, are still connected online and ready to start construction on-site as soon as conditions permit, ensuring absolute safety for people and vehicles.

The program to build 100 inter-level boarding schools in border communes (phase 1, 2025-2026) under the investment policy to complete the construction of 248 schools in border communes), is implemented in 17 provinces and cities.

This is a key task to concretize the policy of the Politburo and the Government on developing education in disadvantaged areas, helping to narrow the regional gap; creating equality in access to education and contributing to strengthening social security, socio-economic development and maintaining national security and defense in border areas.

The program has a total construction investment cost of nearly 20,000 billion VND.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training , the simultaneous groundbreaking ceremony of 72 projects, with the participation of leaders of the Government, ministries, branches and localities, demonstrates the spirit of close coordination and high determination of the entire political system in caring for students in border areas, fully preparing the conditions to soon complete the investment of 100 schools before the 2026-2027 school year.
