Too few children aged three to five are attending school full time because of a shortage of classrooms, he said.
Meanwhile, many provincial and city kindergartens are temporarily housed in primary schools or local residents' houses, he added.
Nhan called on schools that had adequate land funds to build additional classrooms for kindergarten pupils.
In addition, he called on the Ministry of Education and Training to complete proposals for construction projects that used official development assistance for teacher-training facilities and the upgrade or construction of new school buildings.
The Ministry of Planning and Investment has been assigned the task of examining proposed construction projects and teaching-aid requirements for the 2010-11 academic year and to submit these to the Government for approval.
The country intends to spend more than VND14.6 trillion (US$736 million) on providing education facilities for all five-year-olds in the country to prepare them for primary school.
The programme includes the construction of new schools and classrooms, purchasing study and teaching aids, training teachers and support for poor students.
Also under the programme, 86 new kindergartens meeting national standards will be built in 62 poor districts, of which 24 are in six mountainous provinces bordering the Central Highlands. — VNS
