The new school will also add to the development of education in the economic zone.
To be located in the Baoneng Science and Technology City project, the school will have administrative buildings, classrooms, a playground, sports fields and a library.
After completion, plans are for it to strive to become a Guiyang model school, a provincial first-class public school and a national top 100 school.
