Bustling activity at the construction sites of border schools.

These days, the atmosphere at the border school construction sites in Lao Cai province is one of urgent and bustling activity. The continuous work of officials, engineers, and workers in this mountainous border region demonstrates their determination to accelerate the progress of key educational projects, contributing to the political resolve of the Party and State in caring for the education of mountainous areas, ethnic minority regions, and border areas.

At the construction site of Muong Khuong Primary and Secondary Boarding School in Muong Khuong commune, the sounds of machinery and transport vehicles operate continuously from early morning until late afternoon. Despite the cold of the highlands, dozens of technical staff and workers are still making the most of every hour to accelerate the construction progress.

Construction work is underway to level the ground at the Muong Khuong Primary and Secondary Boarding School project.

According to the report from the Construction Management Board of Muong Khuong Primary and Secondary Boarding School, the ground leveling work has now reached approximately 48% of the embankment volume, basically achieving the foundation level for the administrative and classroom blocks.

The rock-breaking and site-leveling work in the dormitory area is being carried out intensively with various solutions; the concrete foundation pouring for the administrative building block has been and is being implemented; and the steel reinforcement for the building blocks' foundations is being fabricated simultaneously to ensure continuity in construction.

The work of blasting and leveling the ground in the area of ​​the boarding house at Muong Khuong Ethnic Boarding Primary and Secondary School is being carried out with a focus on implementing various solutions.

One of the complex technical tasks, relocating the 35kV power line out of the construction area of ​​Muong Khuong Primary and Secondary Boarding School, has been completed safely and in accordance with technical requirements, creating favorable conditions for the implementation of the next steps.

In addition, the land clearance process, which was identified as a difficult step, has achieved many positive results. The consulting unit has closely coordinated with the Economic Department of Muong Khuong commune and the Muong Khuong regional branch of the Land Registration Office to expedite land procedures with relevant households and complete the land clearance map for phase 3.

Proactively gather materials and carry out continuous construction.

According to Mr. Hoang Quoc Cuong, Deputy Commander of the Muong Khuong Ethnic Boarding Primary and Secondary School construction site, during the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the construction unit proactively mobilized maximum manpower and equipment, enthusiastically competing with a phased construction spirit, simultaneously working on the foundation infrastructure and preparing materials for the next stages.

During the implementation process, units and localities always coordinated closely to flexibly resolve legal obstacles and persuaded some households that had not yet agreed to hand over the land to ensure the overall progress of the project.

The A Mú Sung Primary and Secondary Boarding School has basically completed the foundation work.

Sharing that same spirit of emulation, the atmosphere at the construction site of A Mú Sung Primary and Secondary Boarding School in A Mú Sung commune is also extremely bustling with activity.

On the large, leveled plot of land, the school's 12 buildings are gradually taking shape as the foundations are completed.

Mr. Tan Lao Ta, a construction worker from Tung Chin 2 village, Trinh Tuong commune, shared that despite the difficult construction conditions and unpredictable weather, everyone understands that this project has special significance for the future of the children of ethnic minorities in the border area.

Workers worked diligently on those special days.

According to Mr. Dang Manh Hung, Director of Phuc Anh Construction Co., Ltd. - the main contractor of the project - at this time, all 12 building blocks of A Mu Sung Primary and Secondary Boarding School have completed the foundation work; the dormitory building has completed the scaffolding and created a solid steel floor, ready for pouring the first floor roof. Other items are also being accelerated, ensuring the correct technical procedures and quality requirements.

Mr. Ha Tien Hung, the project's overall commander, added that the goal in the near future is to complete the pouring of the first-floor roofs for all building blocks and proceed with erecting the second-floor columns. At the same time, sufficient construction materials have been stockpiled to facilitate construction immediately after the Lunar New Year, avoiding any time gaps or delays in the project.

The investor and the construction company regularly exchange information and provide close supervision on the construction site.

The construction of multi-level boarding schools in border communes of Lao Cai province is a concrete implementation of the Party and State's major policy on comprehensive education development, with particular priority given to remote areas, ethnic minority regions, and border areas. This is an important component of the education development strategy linked to socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security, and building a peaceful, friendly, and stable border.

The synchronized and modern construction of border school facilities will create conditions for students in mountainous areas to study and live in a safe and adequate environment, thereby improving the quality of teaching and learning, reducing the dropout rate, and contributing to the training of local human resources for the region.

Building a school system, especially multi-level boarding schools in border communes, is a major policy decided by the Central Committee of the Communist Party, the Politburo , and the Government in the national education development strategy for the period 2025-2030, with a vision to 2045. In this program, Lao Cai province is tasked with implementing the construction of 9 multi-level boarding schools in border localities, including: Y Ty, A Mu Sung, Trinh Tuong, Bat Xat, Pha Long, Muong Khuong, Ban Lau, Si Ma Cai communes and Lao Cai ward. Four schools have been selected as pilot projects, striving for completion before August 30, 2026, including: Y Ty Ethnic Boarding Primary and Secondary School; Pha Long Ethnic Boarding Primary and Secondary School; A Mu Sung Ethnic Boarding Primary and Secondary School; Muong Khuong Ethnic Boarding Primary and Secondary School, with a total investment of nearly 945 billion VND, features a comprehensive design encompassing classrooms, dormitories, multi-purpose rooms, a library, a canteen, and a modern technical infrastructure system.

For Lao Cai province, with its long border, complex terrain, and the difficult living conditions of people in many border communes, investing in the construction of multi-level boarding schools is of particular importance. These facilities are not only places for education but also a foundation for strengthening the people's trust in the Party's leadership and the State's concern; contributing to maintaining political stability, social order and security, and strengthening national unity in this border region of the Fatherland.

Modern construction equipment is used to speed up the project's progress.

During the peak days of emulation campaigns to celebrate the 14th National Congress of the Party, the enthusiastic spirit of competition on school construction projects among cadres, workers, and laborers carried with it the belief and hope for a bright future for the children of ethnic minorities in the highlands and border regions.

With the decisive involvement of all levels and sectors, the efforts of the construction units, and the consensus of the people, we are confident that the multi-level boarding school projects will be completed on schedule, ensuring quality, and put into use in the next school year.
