Provincial Vice Chairman reviews implementation of national target programmes in 2025

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Ngoc Hau on December 19 chaired a working session with Son La College to review the implementation of national target programmes in 2025 and discuss proposals for the implementation plan for the 2026-2030 period.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Ngoc Hau works with Son La College.

In 2025, Son La College was allocated more than 30.7 billion VND (1.17 million USD) in investment capital to implement various projects. Of this amount, 4.77 billion VND was used to invest in facilities for developing vocational education in poor and disadvantaged areas, while nearly 25 billion VND was allocated to infrastructure investment and the construction of integrated practical training systems. To date, the college has disbursed nearly 24.4 billion VND, reaching approximately 79.4% of the assigned plan.

Regarding recurrent funding, in 2025 the college was allocated more than 30.5 billion VND, including 11.7 billion VND from the National Target Programme on Sustainable Poverty Reduction and 18.8 billion VND from the National Target Programme on Socio-economic Development in Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas (Programme 1719). The disbursement rate has reached 60%.

A representative of Son La College addresses the working session.

Under the medium-term public investment plan for the 2026-2030 period, Son La College proposed a budget of 45 billion VND to invest in standardised training facilities, infrastructure, and equipment; apply new technologies and techniques in educational activities; and train and retrain teaching staff. In addition, the college proposed 9 billion VND from the National Target Programme on Sustainable Poverty Reduction to procure equipment serving five key training occupations.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dang Ngoc Hau delivers remarks at the working session.

Speaking at the event, the Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee requested that Son La College focus on accelerating the disbursement of all funding sources, striving to achieve over 98% of the assigned plan by the end of January 2026.

He also called on the college to continue promoting international cooperation, particularly in training Lao students; to review and develop investment portfolios for the 2026-2030 period that are practical, feasible, and effective; and to align these efforts with the goal of training high-quality human resources and promoting overseas labour export.

At the same time, the college was urged to strengthen linkages with enterprises, proactively grasp labour market demand, and improve the rate of graduates securing employment after graduation.
