FPT Commences Construction of FPT Inter-level School in Soc Trang

On June 1, 2025, FPT Corporation held the groundbreaking ceremony for FPT Inter-level School Soc Trang at the 5A Urban Area, Ward 4, Soc Trang City, Soc Trang Province. This marks FPT’s third inter-level school project in the Mekong Delta region, following Can Tho and Hau Giang. The event represents an important milestone in FPT’s journey to develop high-quality education nationwide, contributing to the implementation of the Politburo’s Resolutions No. 57-NQ/TW and No. 68-NQ/TW.

The construction of FPT Inter-level School Soc Trang is expected to be completed and officially put into operation in the 2025–2026 academic year, providing a modern learning environment for students in Soc Trang and neighboring provinces. This is one of three key projects of Soc Trang Province in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025).

The groundbreaking ceremony took place as Soc Trang Province accelerates its socio-economic development strategy, with education and high-quality human resource training identified as key pillars, contributing to the implementation of Resolution No. 57. As a province in the Mekong Delta, Soc Trang not only stands out for its modern agriculture and renewable energy but is also making strong progress toward becoming an emerging educational hub in the region.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Khoi, Vice Chairman of the Soc Trang Provincial People’s Committee, affirmed: “The commencement of FPT Inter-level School in Soc Trang not only contributes to diversifying the local education system but also demonstrates the strategic cooperation between the province and FPT Corporation. This project is a practical embodiment of educational socialization and concretizes the Central and Provincial Resolution No. 57 on the development of science, technology, and digital transformation in education. We expect the project to be completed soon and become a new highlight in Soc Trang’s education and human resource development.”

Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, CEO of FPT Corporation, emphasized: “As a leading technology enterprise, we aspire to bring a comprehensive educational ecosystem to Soc Trang to nurture global citizens carrying the Vietnamese intellectual spirit. The FPT Inter-level School Soc Trang project will serve as a foundation for training a generation of ‘57 engineers’—individuals capable of mastering technology and meeting international integration demands. We believe that the quality of education is a core competitive advantage for localities in attracting investment and ensuring sustainable development.”

Alongside its inter-level schools in Can Tho, Hau Giang, and now Soc Trang, FPT also operates a university campus and high-tech park in Can Tho. Following local administrative mergers, FPT’s education–technology ecosystem in the Mekong Delta will form a comprehensive chain spanning from primary to postgraduate education. Students studying within the FPT education system will be eligible for direct admission to higher levels if they wish to continue their studies at FPT. Upon graduation, they will have opportunities to work within FPT’s domestic and international network of offices.

Dr. Le Truong Tung, CEO of FPT Education under FPT Corporation, stated: “FPT School Soc Trang has been selected as one of the three key projects of the province in celebration of the 80th National Day, reflecting the strong expectations from local authorities. This campus not only completes FPT’s education ecosystem in the Mekong Delta—including Can Tho, Hau Giang, and Soc Trang—but also symbolizes our sustainable human resource development strategy. We aim to build a semi-boarding school with a comprehensive learning environment, where students not only excel academically but also develop good character, rich experiences, and kindness. Education should not only be measured by grades but also by students’ quality of life at school. FPT is committed to investing in both finance and quality to deliver an excellent learning environment with reasonable tuition, accessible to a wide range of learners.”

A 2,160-Student Inter-level School

The design of FPT Inter-level School Soc Trang is inspired by the concept of “a school within a garden”.

FPT Inter-level School Soc Trang is located in the 5A Urban Area, Ward 4, Soc Trang City, Soc Trang Province, covering nearly 15,700 m² of land, with a construction area of over 5,300 m². The project comprises several buildings of up to four floors, with a total floor area of approximately 17,800 m².

The architecture draws inspiration from the image of “a school within a garden,” creating a vibrant and creative space. The central courtyard—the “heart” of the campus—connects functional blocks and nurtures community interaction, serving as a flexible shared space for students to play, organize outdoor events, and participate in extracurricular activities. The U-shaped classroom block surrounding the courtyard combines modern and friendly design.

The entire complex embodies an open education philosophy, where learning extends to corridors, courtyards, staircases, and green rooftops, forming a micro-ecosystem that accompanies students throughout their development journey.

The school is expected to begin admissions for the 2025–2026 academic year, offering semi-boarding programs for primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary levels, with an enrollment capacity of approximately 2,160 students.

Nurturing High-Quality Human Resources in Soc Trang

FPT Inter-level School Soc Trang is part of the long-term development strategy of the FPT Schools System—the general education network invested by FPT Corporation, now present in many provinces and cities nationwide.

With the philosophy “Experience to Grow,” FPT Schools focuses on three pillars: Technology Education, Global Competence, and Personal Development, aiming to cultivate generations of global citizens with creativity, resilience, and social responsibility—aligned with the demand for high-quality human resources in science, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship, thereby realizing the directions of the Politburo’s Resolutions No. 57-NQ/TW and No. 68-NQ/TW.

From the 2025–2026 school year, the school is expected to welcome its first students, offering access to integrated technology-based curricula in AI, STEM, and Robotics from the primary level, along with programs that enhance soft skills, physical development, and creative thinking.

The construction and operation of FPT Inter-level School Soc Trang will not only meet the growing demand for high-quality education in the province but also create hundreds of job opportunities for teachers and staff, while stimulating the local service and housing economy.
