Subcentres
Chunya Moravian Vocational Training Centre
The Training Center is located about 2km away from Chunya town, but directly on the main road that leads right into town. Access to town seems to be good. The direct surroundings of the Training Center seems to be getting increasingly populated, as there are many houses under construction. This points to the improved economic power in this town.
The center consists of a main building (built in 2014), which contains a classroom, the administration office and the staff room. There are also 4 other buildings. A dormitory, a canteen and a staff house, where the students currently live together with the director of the center.
The other buildings were built in 2016 and 2019. The center was built by a private donor.

Moravian Teachers Training College
After the state launched the campaign “one school for each village” in 2000, a lot of schools have been built. Unfortunately, the number of teachers could not respond to the demand.
