Accordingly, the Department of Education and Training said that after the province's arrangement and merger, Dak Lak has 102 communes and wards; including 4 border communes: Buon Don, Ia Lop, Ia Rve and Ea Bung, with 73 km of border adjacent to Mondulkiri province (Cambodia).

In these 4 communes, there are no high schools, no boarding schools, while the demand for boarding of students is very large. Therefore, investment in building boarding schools for primary and secondary levels in the above communes is very necessary.

Dak Lak Department of Education and Training proposed to build a new primary and secondary boarding school in each border commune. These 4 schools have a total number of 4,000 students, a total construction area of 160,000 ^m2 , and a total investment of 420 billion VND (105 billion VND/school).

According to the Dak Lak Department of Education and Training, regarding the plan to arrange teachers for these schools, currently teachers teaching in border communes basically meet over 80% of the prescribed standards in terms of quantity. However, in some subjects, there is a local surplus or shortage among schools.

After the inter-level boarding school is built, the Department of Education and Training will advise the Provincial People's Committee to direct communes to transfer students and teachers from local schools to the new school and supplement the teacher staffing quota to ensure enough teachers to teach according to regulations.

According to the Dak Lak Department of Education and Training, in the above 4 border communes, there are 13 primary and secondary schools. Of which, there are 7 primary schools and 6 secondary schools; with a total of 4,387 students. The current state of school facilities in the border communes is degraded, lacking functional rooms, and unable to meet the requirements for teaching according to the 2018 General Education Program.
