Covering an area of 2.4 ha, the school, equipped with modern facilities, is able to provide care for about 1,000 children.
According to representatives from Phong Thai Group, the company will pay tuition fees and insurance premium for their workers’ children and the employees will have only to pay 430,000 VND per month for meals of their children.
The school will receive children from 6.30 am and return them back to their parents before 8 pm every day.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) Bui Van Cuong hailed the Phong Thai Group for its initiative, saying that the facility will contribute to creating a good learning environment for workers’ children.
He called on enterprises in Dong Nai and those across the country to learn from the model, towards expanding it nationwide.
