Abstract

This article focuses on analyzing the current state of infrastructure management at seven high schools in Rach Gia ward, An Giang province, in the context of implementing the “2018 General Education Program”. Through quantitative research methods (a questionnaire survey with 27 administrators and 60 teachers and staff) combined with in-depth interviews, the study comprehensively evaluates all stages from planning and implementation to inspection and evaluation of the use of educational infrastructure.
The research results affirm that infrastructure is the “backbone” determining the quality of education and is a key standard in school quality accreditation. Besides highlighting seven strengths such as strategic leadership capacity, scientific record-keeping processes, and adaptability to digital transformation, the article also points out four limitations related to financial resources, incentive mechanisms, management capacity at the institution, and social mobilization efforts. From there, the author proposes five strategic measures to optimize the efficiency of equipment utilization, including: raising awareness, innovating planning, optimizing organization, improving support conditions, and strengthening inspection and supervision.
