Work began Saturday on the construction of the first school in Truong Sa archipelago, a district managed by the central province of Khanh Hoa.

Costing a total of VND10 billion (US$480,000), the school will have six classrooms, a library, a schoolyard, restroom areas, teacher dorms, and other facilities when it is completed in April next year.

The school will provide seats for kindergarteners through to fifth-graders, said Nguyen Van Thang, chairman of the local People’s Council.

The finance for this school construction comes from a scholarship fund, which is named ‘For Beloved Truong Sa Students,’ jointly administered by the Central Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and Phap Luat TPHCM (Ho Chi Minh City Law) Newspaper.

More schools will be built on other islets in the archipelago, using money from this fund.

Khanh Hoa plans to send middle school teachers to Truong Sa next school year to spare the students there the trip to the mainland when they finish elementary school, according to Le Tuan Tu, director of the provincial Education and Training Department.
