Concurrent with the closures, the province aims to streamline its education workforce by eliminating 1,687 management and school staff positions – including more than 1,000 principals and vice principals. This restructuring initiative is intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the provincial education system. The move aims to optimize resource allocation and potentially address issues related to teacher surplus or underutilized infrastructure. Details regarding the specific criteria for school selection and staff reduction were not immediately available. This represents a substantial change to the educational landscape of Lâm Đồng province.
