The first school named after the Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelagos will be open in Danang City in July.
Fishermen on Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelagos
Hoang Sa Secondary School, located at 7 Vu Tong Phan Street in Son Tra District, will mainly serve children of local fishermen from Man Thai and Tho Quang wards who fish around the Paracel archipelagos.Former chairman of Hoang Sa District's People's Committee, Dang Cong Ngu, said: "Our children should know about how the Hoang Sa archipelagos has been illegally occupied by Chinese forces since January 19, 1974. Whatever happens, Hoang Sa is still a district of Danang City."
Although Hoang Sa District People's Committee was established in 1982, it has no land or residents. Local authorities are proposing to the government to move the Man Thai and Tho Quang wards in Son Tra District to Hoang Sa District with the establishment of the school.
"This work should take long time but we'll start from now," Ngu said.
