The abandoned billion-dollar school in Nghe An has been put into use.

After more than a year of completion but being abandoned, the school worth more than 23 billion VND in Vinh Phu ward (Vinh city) has opened its doors to welcome students. The first classes at the second campus of Nghi An Secondary School have officially taken place, ending the waste and opening up new expectations for teachers and students here.

Nghi An Secondary School, Campus 2.

From the beginning of December 2025, Nghi An Secondary School organized the first class at the second facility in Kim Trung hamlet (Vinh Phu ward). Six classes including 6A, 7A, 7B, 7E, 7G and 8A started studying according to the new schedule. Each class at this facility is arranged with 3 subjects such as: Education , Fine Arts, Local Education or Enhanced English.

Classes are held in the afternoon, so students only come to campus 2 1-2 times a week, avoiding having to travel between the two locations. Grade 9 students still study at campus 1 to ensure they can prepare for their final exams.

Ms. Le Viet Hong, Principal of Nghi An Secondary School, said: "When organizing teaching at the second facility, the school was initially worried and hesitant. Although the classroom was cramped and difficult to move around at the back of the classroom, there were basically enough desks and chairs for students, ensuring 2 students per desk. Up to this point, all teaching and learning activities of teachers and students have stabilized and parents also agree with the school's teaching plan. In the future, I hope the local government will continue to invest in the remaining items to help teaching and learning go smoothly and meet the teaching requirements in the new period."

It is known that, in order to prepare for teaching at the second facility, Vinh Phu Ward People's Committee has allocated funds to invest in purchasing facilities for 5 classrooms, including 1 computer, 1 television for each classroom, and equipping the administrative offices at the second facility with minimum equipment. In addition, the ward has repaired and cleaned the road leading to the school to help students, teachers and people travel conveniently.

Previously, on November 5, a reporter from Vietnam News Agency reported on the Nghi An Secondary School Project, Phase 2 (Phase 1), invested by the People's Committee of Nghi An Commune (old), starting construction in 2023 and completed in October 2024. The project has a total floor area of ​​over 1,950 square meters along with a gate, fence, garage and guardhouse with a total investment of over VND 23 billion. However, more than a year after completion, the school has not been put into use because the facilities have not met the minimum requirements for teaching such as: no office for teachers, functional rooms, laboratory practice rooms, playgrounds, etc.

To resolve related issues and put the project into operation soon, immediately after that, Vinh Phu Ward People's Committee held a meeting with the participation of the Board of Directors of Nghi An Secondary School and specialized departments to find solutions to soon put the second facility into use. Particularly for items in phase 2 of the project, the locality will include them in the public investment plan for the period 2026 - 2030.
