Tran Phu Primary School in HCM City. Some 5,000 rooms will be built to serve as classrooms and public houses for teachers by 2015.
At present, some classes have to share their rooms.
Other functional rooms, such as clinics, multi-purpose classrooms, libraries and equipment rooms, will be built under the project.
To organise the project, including setting aside land and finance, the Ministry of Education and Training will co-ordinate ministries and sectors, including the provincial People's Councils and the Viet Nam Fatherland Front.
The ministry will also help local authorities survey the regional need for classrooms.
Local authorities will be expected to manage building efforts using local budgets and supplementary funding from the Government.
The Government has allocated VND3.7 trillion (US$174 million) to the project from its bonds contingency fund. The Ministry of Education and Training will also propose projects to the Prime Minister to raise even more funds.
