To achieve this goal, the prerequisite is a modern and synchronous facility. Therefore, the province proposed to study the master plan and build the school in a new location with a large scale, in accordance with the standards of a smart university. In the immediate future, it is necessary to focus on comprehensively developing the school on-site and gradually carrying out a suitable decentralization management plan. The province is committed to directing the site clearance work, creating favorable conditions for the project to be implemented effectively.

Regarding the direction of decentralization management, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that he will continue to coordinate with ministries and branches to study a suitable decentralization management plan, ensuring autonomy and improving the efficiency of school operations.
