The Party and the State always pay special attention to education and training, ensuring the equal access to education for all, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue affirmed while attending the inaugural ceremony of a high school in a mountainous district of Nghe An province on September 3.
NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue urges ensuring the equal access to education for all
This is the only high school in Ky Son – one of the most 74 disadvantaged districts nationwide, about 250km from Nghe An province’s Vinh city. More than 95% of its students belong to ethnic minority groups in the district.
The 2.6ha school was rebuilt with the funding of 210 billion VND (8.95 million USD) from Trung Nam Construction Investment Joint Stock Company (Trungnam Group). It has a total of 245 rooms, including 171 boarding rooms for students and teachers.
From the 2023-2024, Nghe An will grant scholarships to 120 Lao students at the high school and the provincial ethnic minority boarding school.
NA Chairman Hue said the scholarship programme will help neighbouring Laos in high-quality personnel training, while contributing to promoting the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.
He asked the provincial Party Committee and People’s Committee to instruct the implementation of the legislature’s Resolution No. 88 and other projects launched by the NA and the Government regarding socio-economic development in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas for 2021-2023, with priorities given to education infrastructure.
On this occasion, the Committee for Ethnic Affairs presented the Ky Son High School with 100 million VND.
Trungnam Group committed scholarships to the school’s students for 10 years, starting 2022, with a toral value of 10 billion VND. The group also handed over 500 bikes to Ky Son and 1,500 school bags to the students./.
