Nam was speaking at a press briefing on a festival featuring “40 years of HCMC education and training development” slated for March next year.
This event will review the achievements of the HCMC education and training sector and present ways to integrate the local educational system into regional and global education systems.
In addition to building those new schools, the department will inaugurate 14 others that have been constructed recently.
The department has launched campaigns to raise funds for building schools on the country’s islands and coastal provinces to allow children to have easy access to education. For instance, a kindergarten and primary school on Song Tu Tay Island of Truong Sa District off the country’s southern coast constructed at a cost of VND8 billion will be opened in March next year.
Two other schools – a VND20 billion kindergarten on Ly Son District of Quang Nghai Province and the VND120 billion Con Dao Secondary School on Con Dao District of Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province – will come into operation the same month.
During the festival, the department will organize other activities such as art performance, camping for secondary students and honor important contributors to the city’s education sector.
The three-day festival will take place at the Reunification Palace on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street in downtown HCMC starting from March 20.
Around 40,000 people including teachers, students, parents, investors and locals are expected to visit 500 booths of organizations and enterprises during the event.
