Today (September 16), over 60 schools in Hanoi are still unable to study in person.

The announcement of students returning to school in person was sent to parents and students 1-2 days in advance so that all parties could prepare. After many days of online learning at home, this was the information that many people were looking forward to.

On September 14, when the sun rose and the floodwaters gradually receded, teachers, staff, and parents of schools coordinated with many forces to urgently clean, disinfect, and prepare facilities to welcome students back to normal school from September 16.

In areas where schools had to study online in the previous days, such as: Ha Dong, Hoang Mai, Tay Ho, Ba Dinh..., from September 16, 100% of schools organized in-person learning.

“I have been studying online for a few days and I miss my teachers and friends. I want to go to school in person because this form of learning helps us absorb lessons more effectively,” said Nguyen Hoang Anh, a 7th grade student in Ba Dinh district.

Tay Ho District School urgently cleans classrooms to welcome students back to school.

For Ms. Cao Thi An, Thanh Tri district, storm No. 3, flooding, evacuation, children not being able to go to school..., have turned her family's life upside down. Every day, the parents' group updates the situation of the school and classrooms. Knowing that the water has receded, the school is no longer flooded and is being cleaned, she volunteered to go to the school to help with the cleaning and sanitation work. "Tomorrow, the children can go to school. Parents feel much more relieved and the children feel happy too," said Ms. An.

Due to the effects of the storm's circulation, students at three schools in Ba Dinh District (Kindergarten No. 8, Nghia Dung Primary School, Phuc Xa Secondary School) have had to stop going to school for many days. Although online learning between teachers and students is conducted regularly every day, many students feel like they miss their classes and school and want to go to school in person. After completing the school cleaning work, from September 16, all three schools organized for students to return to school.

“Today, 100% of schools in Quoc Oai district organized for students to go to school directly. Notably, the district still has 2 schools that are still flooded, so students of these 2 schools are temporarily transferred to other schools belonging to their schools. Specifically: students at Muon Ro school of Tuyet Nghia Kindergarten temporarily study at Lien Thon school; students at Liep Mai school of Ngoc Liep Kindergarten temporarily study at Ngoc Bai school”, informed the Department of Education and Training of Quoc Oai district.

A few days ago, Thanh Tri district had 43 schools that allowed students to stay home due to flooding. Now, nearly 100% of schools in the district are able to teach in person; only Lien Ninh Secondary School is teaching online because the water has not completely receded.

According to the latest information from the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, this morning (September 16), there are still over 60 schools in the city that are flooded and cannot welcome students back to school; of which 21 are preschool schools, 23 are primary schools, 16 are secondary schools and 1 is high school.

The Department of Education and Training of Ung Hoa district said that the locality still has two schools, Hong Quang Primary School and Hong Quang Secondary School, maintaining online learning due to flooding. Hong Quang Kindergarten serves as a place for people to avoid flooding and also accepts students to go to school.

A school of Van Thai Primary School has not yet started classes at its own school but is still studying at the main school. “The water has just receded from the classrooms; the yard and gate are still deeply flooded. With the spirit of cleaning up as the water recedes, the school has mobilized forces to clean the classrooms, rearrange tables and chairs, and is always ready to clean the yard and gate as soon as the water recedes,” said a representative of Van Thai Primary School, Ung Hoa district.

As of September 16, My Duc district still has 5 schools that cannot let students go to school, including: An Phu A Kindergarten, An Phu B Kindergarten, Hop Tien B Kindergarten, An Phu Primary School, and Hop Tien B Primary School.

Heavy rain last night and this morning (September 16) caused many streets in Hanoi to be flooded, making transportation very difficult. Luong The Vinh Secondary and High School (Cau Giay campus) gave students 2 morning periods off, the school will start teaching from the 3rd period.

Also this morning, the High School for the Gifted in Natural Sciences (University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University, Hanoi) sent a notice to parents of students about the suspension of in-person classes because the school was deeply flooded, not ensuring safety for teaching and learning.

In the face of complicated weather conditions, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training continues to direct schools to only allow students to attend in-person classes when absolute safety is ensured. In cases where in-class learning cannot be organized, units will implement online teaching and learning so that students' learning is not interrupted. When the water recedes, schools will urgently clean, disinfect, and check facilities to welcome students back to school soon.
