The consolidation resulted in a 41.1% reduction in the number of public schools in Hai Phong. Preschool and secondary schools saw the most significant decrease, each with over 190 fewer institutions, while primary schools were reduced by 159.

The city maintained the existing number of high schools, as these institutions currently meet only 53.3% of the demand from secondary school graduates.

All wards and communes have completed the reorganization and appointed new management boards, ensuring readiness for the 2026-2027 academic year. Each locality now has at least one preschool and one general education school offering both primary and secondary levels. For schools operating across multiple sites, students will continue to attend their original locations, avoiding any disruption to their commute or daily routines.

Regarding personnel, Hai Phong established six priority criteria for appointing management boards. Surplus administrative staff will be reassigned as teachers or offered early retirement benefits before november 30.

Authorities anticipate that this consolidation will enable the city to focus its budget on infrastructure upgrades, invest in smart classrooms, and increase the percentage of schools meeting national standards to 72.22% in the upcoming academic year.
