(HBO) - Luong Son is now the only locality in the province to merge all of its secondary and high schools. Thereby, the number of its schools has decreased from 70 to 43.


After merger, Tan Thanh second and high school has 33 classes with 942 students.

 

The merger of schools helps streamline staff (down 21 management officials, 8 teachers and 4 employees). It continued to streamline management and teaching staff in several fields such as library, equipment, archive, treasury, health care and accounting while arranging redundant teachers due to merger to those lacking them; reduce imbalance in staff among schools, use and arrange them more harmoniously and properly. Additionally, fund for school infrastructure has been earmarked. The merger of schools helps deal with difficulties in the past academic years, especially redundancy and lack of classrooms in the same area while effectively using existing teaching aids and equipment. Several schools have been invested in line with regulations after mergers. It also reduces cost to build functional facilities for 2-3 schools, thus pooling more resources to build national-standard schools. During 2017-2018, six secondary and high schools were recognised as national-standard schools in Luong Son, including three merging in one - Tan Thanh secondary and high school.

 Chief of the district’s education and training office said the merger caused difficulties in arranging staff due to fewer classes, so that the allocation of teachers for 19 classes per week at secondary level and 23 classes per week at elementary level (including teachers major in fine arts, music and foreign languages at two education levels) easily cause confusion in assigning teaching periods and class allowances. The basic professional activities remain separate at two levels without proper coordination to improve teaching quality between elementary and secondary levels and vice versa./.
