deteriorating school yard
Cong Hoa Secondary School in Quoc Oai district was built in 2010 with a total investment of VND 11.5 billion. However, the school has been left unused for the last three years, while 13 classrooms are showing signs of deterioration, particularly moss-covered walls.
Meanwhile, students here are lacking study rooms, which means they have to share rooms with other classes, which is annoying local parents and students.
As the new school year starts, teachers here are trying to sub-divide their offices to allow more classroom space for students.
Not far away, Tan Hoa Secondary School is in the same situation. The two-storey school with 10 classrooms which cost VND 4.8 billion to build, was completed two years ago but is still abandoned, thus serving no students at all.

According to Nguyen Manh Quynh, headmaster of Tan Hoa Secondary School, the project was financed by the communal People's Committee, so they, the school and its headmaster, can only wait.
After investigation, a DTiNews reporter found that the investors in these two school projects decided not to transfer the schools to teachers because the communal authorities had not yet completed payment of VND 700 million for them.
According to a representative of Tan Hoa Commune's People's Committee, they are still waiting for more money from Hanoi's central committee to complete payment to the investors.
