According to the Prime Minister, the spirit is to do what is right, finish it, and not drag it out. Schools must meet standards, be modern, solid, and have adequate facilities for learning information technology, foreign languages, physical facilities, and physical training.

In particular, there must be a cultural area for children to develop the cultural identity of ethnic groups. "There must be a modern, solid, civilized school so that storms and subsidence are no longer a concern," said the Prime Minister.
