As of May 15, 2026, among 108 schools in 19 border provinces will be started in the pilot phase (from the end of 2025), with 99 schools using central budget capital and 1 school invested from socialized sources. In addition, Quang Ninh proactively allocated local budget to build 6 more schools, while Dien Bien and Cao Bang had 2 more schools invested in the form of socialization. The first 100 schools applied a special public investment mechanism, allowing parallel implementation of design and construction to shorten construction progress. To date, 1 school has been completed and put into use, and 25 other schools have completed the rough parts. Nghe An is a locality with 10 schools implementing this first phase, many projects have now reached about 45 - 60% of the construction volume. On May 23, 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Le Tien Chau signed Official Telegram No. 42/CD-TTg of the Prime Minister on accelerating the progress of building multi-level boarding schools in land border communes. The dispatch requires mobilizing the entire political system to participate, launching the 100 day and night peak campaign, focusing maximum human resources and machinery to complete 100 pilot schools before August 30, 2026. Determined to stick to the construction site because of peoples expectations According to the Management Board of investment projects for construction of civil and industrial works in Nghe An province, all procedural documents of 10 projects have been completed; Central budget capital for the period 2025-2026 has also been allocated. Particularly in Na Ngoi commune (Nghe An), the inter-level boarding school being built is the largest-scale educational project ever to appear in this border area. Previously, on October 11, 2025, the locality was honored to welcome General Secretary and President To Lam to attend the Groundbreaking Ceremony.

Talking to the Government Electronic Newspaper, Mr. Lau Ba Cho, Secretary of the Party Committee of Na Ngoi commune, said that as of May 25, 2026, the project has been implementing 19 items simultaneously. In particular, many items have been completed such as the administrative house, library, some secondary school classrooms, ritual hall, teacher boarding house, water tank...The primary school building has been constructed on the 2nd and 3rd floors. The student boarding area and multi-purpose house are also accelerating. The Project Management Board and construction unit are fiercely taking advantage of the weather to speed up the construction progress of the items according to the Plan, working in 3 shifts, 4 synchronous crews to achieve progress as expected, Mr. Cho shared. Also according to Mr. Cho, getting a site to build a school is a process that lasts many months. Since August 2025, the Party Committee and local authorities have determined that site clearance is a particularly important task. We coordinate with provincial departments and branches to survey each area, mobilize people to give up land, and relocate barns to serve project implementation. In the border highlands, site clearance has never been easy. Many households have to give up a part of their productive land, which is closely linked to the entire familys livelihood. People here look forward to the school very much. Many people voluntarily give up their land from the beginning because everyone understands that their children need better learning conditions. Many parents told us that they accept a little disadvantage today so that their children will have a better future later, Mr. Cho said.

The terrain of Na Ngoi commune is complex, many areas have to excavate large volumes of soil and rock to create a construction site. Meanwhile, the commune is located far from technical centers, so the mobilization of machinery and equipment faces many limitations. Another pressure comes from the weather. Traffic becomes more difficult, especially after heavy rains. There was a time when trucks carrying materials had to stop for many hours because of landslides. The school construction area is a place with heavy rainfall and frequent local thunderstorms. In just the first 5 months of this year, there were many days of prolonged rain. Many days workers had to completely stop working because they could not pour concrete or operate machinery on the mountainside, Mr. Cho said. All construction materials such as iron and steel, cement, sand and gravel had to be transported from the lowlands over a distance of more than 200km. The narrow construction site makes it difficult to gather materials, turn around trucks or set up camps for workers. However, according to Secretary of the Party Committee of Na Ngoi Commune, going toWhat makes localities and construction units determined to stick to the construction site is the peoples great expectations.
