📋 Tender Overview
The arrangement of public educational facilities must be completed before August 30. However, the Ministry of Education and Training emphasizes that this is not the end point; The effectiveness after the arrangement must continue to be evaluated by the quality of education, the use of staff, facilities and students access to education. Talking to the Government Electronic Newspaper, Mr. Thai Van Tai, Director of the Department of General Education, Ministry of Education and Training emphasized that August 30 is the milestone for completing the arrangement of public educational institutions, but not the end of this process. Mr. Thai Van Tai said, the important thing is not to reduce it. How many schools, but after the arrangement, students learn better, teachers have better conditions to do their jobs and the education system operates more effectively and efficiently. Download Mr. Thai Van Tai said, arrangement is not a matter of mechanical addition and subtraction of the number of schools. It is not a matter of mechanical addition and subtraction of the number of schools. According to Mr. Thai Van Tai, the arrangement of the school network is implemented in the overall policies on innovation, organizational arrangement and breakthrough in educational development. Therefore, this is not a goal in itself, nor is it the mechanical addition and subtraction of the number of schools. The network of educational institutions needs to be reorganized in accordance with the population size, population distribution and actual conditions of each area, thereby using resources more effectively, improving the quality of education and school management capacity. Most importantly, students right to learn and opportunities to access education must be guaranteed. Streamline the focal point but do not narrow it down. learning opportunities; arrange the organization to devote more resources to learners and teaching activities, Mr. Tai emphasized. This is also the difference in the current approach: from the requirement of reducing focal points to restructuring the network of educational institutions, focusing on learners. During the implementation process, the Ministry of Education and Training continuously updates instructions according to the actual situation. After Plan 1186/KH-BGDDT dated June 26, 2026, the Ministry continues to issue guiding documents and adjust progress; Organize conferences with Directors of Departments of Education and Training, establish working groups to work directly with localities, and receive feedback to handle arising issues regarding organizational structure, staffing and personnel. Download It is expected that the whole country will reduce about 46.73% of educational establishment contacts - Illustration. Expected to reduce more than 17,300 contacts According to the synthesis of the Ministry of Education and Training, by the time of assessment, the whole country is expected to reduce about 46.73% of educational establishment contacts, equivalent to about 17,353 contacts compared to July 1, 2025. Of these, 10 localities are expected to reduce by over 50%; 13 localities decreased from 45% to 50% and 10 localities decreased from 35% to less than 45%. However, the Director of the Department of General Education said that the focal reduction rate cannot be used as the only measure. What is more noteworthy is that many localities have begun to develop plans suitable to the population, area and learning needs, forming multi-level school models, main schools attached to branches and school sites. Reports from 28/34 provinces and cities show that after the arrangement, about 2,254 high schools with many levels of education are expected to be formed. Localities have gradually shifted from the mindset of merging schools to reorganizing the school network and governance model, Mr. Tai assessed. This transition is especially important when the new school year is near. A school may have a larger scale after reorganization, but if the administration remains the same as before, resources are not coordinated better and teaching activities are disturbed, the goal of reorganization has not been achieved. According to the plan being implemented, the model of main school, branch and school site can help use teachers more flexibly between facilities, especially for subjects where it is difficult to arrange enough teachers such as English, Information Technology, Arts, and Physical Education. Computer rooms, laboratories, libraries, and yards also have conditions to be shared and exploited more effectively. The reorganization is also expected to reduce the situation where teachers have to concurrently handle administrative, clerical, library, and equipment work due to lack of support staff. Mr. Tai emphasized that the ultimate goal of the arrangement is: Reduce management focal points but increase the efficiency of resource use; Reduce administrative work for teachers but increase time for students; and most importantly, improve quality, while ensuring equality in opportunities to access education. More than 32,000 administrators can switch to become teachers. One of the biggest problems today is staff arrangement after placement. In reality, localities are raising a series of issues: organizational structure of new schools, job positions, arrangement of administrators, regulating teachers between surplus and shortage areas, arranging educational support staff. According to estimates. According to the Ministry of Education and Training, after the arrangement, more than 32,000 administrators can be assigned to become teachers, contributing to solving the teacher shortage. Along with that, about more than 11,000 redundant administrative staff need to continue to be arranged in localities. This is not a problem of reducing people, but ratherstructure and use human resources more effectively, Mr. Tai affirmed. Resolution 37/2026/NQ-CP dated August 5, 2026 created a corridor to arrange management staff
