The
HCM City People's Committee has urged districts to speed up construction of
kindergartens so that the plan to make kindergarten education compulsory could
be achieved.
It called for particular focus on the city's
13 industrial and export processing zones.
Statistics from the Department of Education
and Training show that there are more than 750 public and private kindergartens
and more than 1,000 family-run nurseries in the city.
But there are no public kindergartens in 13
wards and communes, and none of any kind in the industrial and export zones.
If the situation persisted, the compulsory
kindergarten target would be difficult to achieve, Nguyen Dinh Thai Chau, head
of the city's school-building committee, told a meeting last Thursday between
the committee and the district project management boards, who build schools
among other tasks.
This week the committee would work with the
HCM City Export Processing and Industrial Zones Authority to obtain land for
building kindergartens in the zones, he said.
The city People's Committee has chosen six
communes in Cu Chi, Hoc Mon, Binh Chanh, Can Gio, and Nha Be and ordered the
districts to give priority to building schools by 2012 under the new rural area
programme.
In the year to date 1,385 new classrooms from
kindergarten to high-school levels have opened.
The city has allocated VND955.7 billion (US$46
million) this year for building schools.
