Mr. Pham Trong Dung - Principal of Nguyen Ba Ngoc Primary School, Trieu Son town said that this morning, only 52 students came to class. More than 400 other students have not been allowed to go to class by their parents.
Previously, on the afternoon of March 27, parents of students at Nguyen Ba Ngoc Primary School simultaneously let 457 students stay home from school to protest the plan to merge with Le Van Tam Primary School.
Parents gave the reason that merging schools would make it longer for students to travel, which was dangerous for both students and the school bus driver as they had to cross provincial roads. In addition, the facilities were not guaranteed and the number of students was too large.

On March 28, leaders of Trieu Son Town People's Committee and Trieu Son District People's Committee, along with the school, had a dialogue with more than 100 parents regarding the issue of school merger and not sending their children to class.
At the dialogue, the majority of parents suggested that it is necessary to consider merging and arranging schools in the area appropriately so that students do not have to travel far to study. In addition, many parents still do not agree with the school merger.
Taking into account the people's opinions, the local government hopes that parents will continue to send their children to class and at the same time not gather in large numbers in front of the school gate, causing disorder and insecurity.
Previously, on February 21, the Standing Committee of Trieu Son District Party Committee met to give opinions on the policy of merging Nguyen Ba Ngoc Primary School and Le Van Tam Primary School into one to hand over the current house and land of Nguyen Ba Ngoc Primary School to To Vinh Dien Secondary School for gradual investment in upgrading and expanding in accordance with the local capital capacity.
The People's Committee of Trieu Son district has also sent a document to the Department of Education and Training to ask for opinions on the merger of Nguyen Ba Ngoc and Le Van Tam primary schools. Currently, there has been no direction from the Department of Education and Training on this issue.
