At the school entrance, people gather scrap everywhere, messy.

Mr. Pham Van Binh, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Giao Commune, Quang Xuong District, said that in 2020, after Nguyen Xuan Nguyen High School in the area was dissolved, the locality established an inter-level school named Nguyen Xuan Nguyen Primary and Secondary School (merging Quang Giao Secondary and Primary Schools). The inter-level school headquarters is located at the old Nguyen Xuan Nguyen High School.

Since then, the headquarters of Quang Giao Primary School and Quang Giao Secondary School have been abandoned until now.

Regarding the requisition of old schools by local people as production and business facilities, Mr. Binh explained that because the locality did not have the funds to look after them and equipment was often lost, they temporarily lent the rooms to local people to store things and asked them to look after them.

"According to the plan, the old Quang Giao Secondary School will be used as the headquarters of the Commune Police and the Commune Health Station. The old Quang Giao Primary School will be used as a cultural area," said Mr. Binh.
