Truong My Hoa, former Vice President and Chairwoman of the Vu A Dinh Scholarship Fund, said:"The parents say they can live far from the mainland but can not let children live far from the literacy. Schools are necessary for not only Sinh Ton island but also other places. The Truong Sa primary school built on Big Truong Sa island will lay the foundation for an education system on the archipelago".
Construction is expected to begin in the 2013-2014 school year on an area of 400 square meters.
