Bac Ly is a border commune of Ky Son district (Nghe An), located in a particularly difficult area and also a poor commune of Ky Son district. The material life of the Kho Mu, Mong, Thai ethnic groups here is still very lacking. Most of the people in the commune are poor, especially the harsh climate is not less than that of the northern mountainous provinces, plus heavy rain and flash floods. Nhot Kho is a particularly difficult village of Bac Ly commune, located nearly 52km from the district center, where the majority of Mong people live, the school currently has 2 teachers teaching 36 students.

In previous years, the facilities of Nhot Kho school were still facing many difficulties. Due to being built a long time ago, the school was seriously degraded, a wooden school with a dirt floor and patched canvas panels to protect against wind and dew, not meeting the needs of students’ study and living.
