The event was attended by Nguyen Dinh Viet, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; Ha Trung Chien, standing member of the provincial Party Committee and Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; Vi Duc Tho, standing member of the provincial Party Committee and Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Council, representatives of provincial departments and agencies, local authorities, as well as students, parents and residents of Yen Son commune.

Construction of the school began on December 4, 2025, in line with the Politburo’s Notice No. 81-TB/TW, dated July 18, 2025, on the policy of investing in building schools in border communes.

After nearly nine months of construction, the project has been completed thanks to close provincial oversight and the concerted efforts of departments, agencies, local authorities, the investor and the contractor. It was among the first two projects completed in Son La out of 13 inter-level boarding school projects being built in the province’s border areas.

He called on local authorities and the school to conduct a comprehensive trial operation immediately following the inauguration, with a focus on helping students establish routines for boarding, daily activities and adapting to their new learning environment. He also stressed the need to closely monitor students’ meals, sleep, health and psychological well-being.

The provincial leader urged the school to continue working with the project investor and contractor to complete remaining works and ensure a full handover on schedule. The school should also cooperate with the Border Guard Force to educate students on ethics, values, patriotism and love for their homeland, with the goal of turning the school into a cultural and educational hub of the border commune, where every teacher helps sow the seeds of knowledge and every graduating student becomes a driving force in building their homeland.
