Hanoi People's Committee has asked the authorities in Quoc Oai and Chuong My districts to inspect, repair and rebuild dilapidated nursery schools in their areas.
Do Lai Binh, vice chairman of Quoc Oai People's Committee, said, "By July 30, the schools will be completed to receive children in August."
Luong Xa Nursery School
Hundreds of children in these two districts play and study in deteriorated classrooms, such as at Luong Xa Nursery School, which is an old storage house but, due to budget restrictions, has only two rooms for 70 children, the third too run down to use.
New school project abandoned
In 2010, a new nursery project was carried out, but the project was abandoned before the building was finished.
Dong Quang Nursery School in Quoc Oai District is another converted storage house, used by 87 children, who have 60 square metres to play and study. When the three-year-old children use the rooms, the four-years-olds go outside to play for 30 minutes, and vice versa.
