(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./.
With an allocation of 44 billion VND (1.72 million USD) under the national target programme on socio-economic development in the ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas for the 2021-2025 period, Hoa Binh city has invested in the target areas, creating many changes in the living conditions of local ethnic minority communities.
The social security system at all levels in Hoa Binh province has been making concerted efforts to ensure benefits of citizens and workers when they participate in social insurance and health insurance.

They have been paying attention and protecting the legitimate and the legal rights of the union members, employees, the civil servants, and laborers, which has been contributing to motivating and encouraging the spirit of the union members and the laborers to enthusiastically compete in labor production, actively contributing to the development of the agencies, units and enterprises.
