The Que Phong Boarding School project which received a gigantic VND 41,215 billion (USD1.85 million) in investment has remained abandoned for a year now, leaving hundreds of students temporarily to live and study at different places.
The Que Phong Boarding School project has remained abandoned for a year now
The school was one of the key projects built by the Que Phong District People's Committee in Nghe An Province to welcome the District Party Congress last year.
However, after the first stage was completed in May last year after USD1.34 million of work was done, the construction of the project has remained in hiatus until now.
At the large construction site of the school, a two-storey building with 12 class-rooms, canteen and a building for teachers' meetings have all been completed but left idle to await construction of other buildings such as halls of residence, yard and electricity.
Meanwhile, more than 200 students of the school have been sent to live and study at different places at difficult conditions.
Vi Thi Duyen, director of Que Phong District's Management Board for Infras Structure Projects told Dan Tri on April 27 that they couldn't continue the construction work at the school project due to running out of money after the first stage.
"We've sent a letter to the district and provincial authorities to ask for funding and are still waiting," Duyen said. "We hope to be able to carry on with the construction soon so that students and teachers can settle into their new school."
Speaking with Dan Tri, chairman of Que Phong District, Le Van Giap, confirmed that they would soon find the money to continue the school project.
"We were promised by local authorities that the school would be completed and put into operation in the 2016-2017 school year which begins in September," he said.
