The construction of a primary school began on May 23 in Thanh commune, Huong Hoa district, the central province of Quang Tri , and is expected to solve a shortage of classrooms for local children.
The school is being built at a cost of 135,000 USD, with 107,000 USD from the UK ’s Prudential Group and the rest from the local budget and Plan, a non-governmental organisation specialising in helping children realise their rights and eradicating poverty.
