PM kicks off construction of multi-level school in Thanh Hoa Province

Construction of the Cam Thach Multi-level School in central Thanh Hoa Province officially began on February 10, with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in attendance.

Cam Thanh is a commune that has a border with Laos. 

The groundbreaking ceremony was organized by the Provincial People’s Committee in coordination with the Ministry of National Defense.

The school is being constructed on a site spanning over 11,000 sq.m and is designed to meet Level 2 National Standards. The complex includes a three-story administrative building, a three-story classroom block with 20 rooms, a three-story subject-specific building, a one-story multi-purpose hall, and a three-story dining and boarding facility. All areas will be equipped with modern infrastructure to meet long-term teaching and learning requirements.

In his address, PM Chinh emphasized that this event carries profound humanitarian significance. It serves to institutionalize the policies of the Party and State while demonstrating the Central Government's commitment to education in disadvantaged areas.

The Prime Minister ordered the construction of the school to be completed before August 31, 2026. This timeline ensures that by September 5, 2026, students can attend the opening ceremony of the new academic year in a spacious, modern facility. He noted that the project design must be reviewed and perfected to ensure full functionality, meeting the boarding and educational needs of students in alignment with Standard 248 for multi-level schools in border communes.

Furthermore, the PM requested contractors and supervisory units to organize construction scientifically and urgently yet strictly. He emphasized the need to ensure quality, safety, technical standards, aesthetics, fire prevention, and the absolute prevention of loss or waste.

The Prime Minister urged local authorities to prioritize resources to complete six other multi-level boarding schools (primary and secondary) that began construction in 2025 before August 31, 2026. He also tasked the province with preparing the necessary land to implement 10 additional schools as part of the regional development plan.
