In this plan, the city looks to have another 432 - 552 national-standards public schools between 2022 and 2025, including 153 - 201 kindergartens, 163 - 211 primary schools, 100 - 119 junior high schools, and 16 - 21 senior high schools. It will also work to maintain the quality of existing national-standard schools.

The plan also identified main tasks and measures for realising the targets, including enhancing Party committees and administrations’ leadership over school development, increasing investment in infrastructure, improving education and training quality, developing teachers and school managers, and attracting more resources for education and training.
