The Khanh Hoa provincial People’s Committee will increase the number of teachers and healthcare officials for Truong Sa island district to improve the primary education and healthcare systems there.

In the province’s plan, each town and commune in the district, including Truong Sa town and Sinh Ton and Song Tu Tay communes, will receive an additional two teachers and two healthcare workers from the mainland.

Truong Sa will also see the construction of primary schools in Sinh Ton and Song Tu Tay communes following the one which was built in Truong Sa town in October 2011 with funding from the “For beloved Truong Sa Student” programme.

Healthcare centres are planned to be built in these town and communes in a bid to provide better primary health care for islanders as well as fishermen who operate in the fishing ground of Truong Sa archipelago.-VNA
