Reporting at the event, Mr. Dinh Anh Thu, Director of the Investment and Infrastructure Project Management Board of Ngoc Ha Ward, said that the project to renovate and add subject classrooms and functional rooms at Thong Nhat Secondary School, now Ngoc Ha Secondary School (Division 2), was approved by the People’s Committee of the old Ba Dinh district from 2024 with a total investment of more than 138 billion 125 million VND. The project was built at 42 lane 210 Doi Can, formerly in Doi Can ward, Ba Dinh district, now Ngoc Ha ward.

The project was implemented to upgrade facilities and better meet the learning and training needs of students in the area. In the office block and subject classrooms, the old three-storey building built in 1993 was demolished to build a new 5-storey building and 1 basement, at the same time investing in a synchronous ventilation system and technical infrastructure. The existing classroom block was renovated, the structure was reinforced to increase from 4 floors to 5 floors, the entire door and electrical system was replaced, and the interior items were completed. The kitchen and multi-purpose house were also demolished, renovated and expanded to meet boarding activities as well as the physical training needs of students.

Along with the main construction blocks, the project also invests in many infrastructure and auxiliary items such as building a new basketball court, renovating the entire school yard, fence walls and drainage system, adding water tanks, an automatic fire protection system meeting standards and equipping 100% new equipment for teaching and learning. The project was started in September 2024. During the construction process, all items were inspected and supervised from supplies, input materials, machinery, equipment to labor safety; Minutes of acceptance of phase change are carried out in accordance with legal regulations and standards. The project implementation process also coincides with Hanoi’s transition to a two-level local government model. According to Decision No. 3339-QD/UBND dated June 27, 2025 of Hanoi People’s Committee, the project investor was transferred from Ba Dinh District Construction Investment Project Management Board to Ngoc Ha Ward People’s Committee, in which Ngoc Ha Ward Investment – Infrastructure Project Management Board was assigned to perform the task of investor. Despite the change in the management model, relevant units still coordinate to maintain progress, increase human resources, organize continuous construction and ensure requirements on labor safety and environmental sanitation.

By April 2026, the entire fire protection system of the project was completed and accepted by the Fire Prevention and Rescue Police Department of Hanoi City Police to meet standards. On July 11, 2026, the investor and related units officially accepted the completion and handed over the entire project for use, ensuring readiness to serve the 2026 – 2027 school year. After renovation, Ngoc Ha Secondary School (Division 2) has more spacious and modern learning space, while meeting the requirements of fire prevention, school safety and boarding organization.

The Hanoi People’s Committee’s recognition and organization of marking the project to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the Capital’s Liberation Day is considered a recognition of the project implementation process, and also shows attention to the educational infrastructure at the grassroots level. At the ceremony, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People’s Committee Vu Thu Ha awarded the certificate of recognition, gave flowers to congratulate the school and together with delegates performed the ceremony of attaching the project sign to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the Capital’s Liberation Day (October 10, 1954 – October 10, 2026).
