Many universities adjust teaching methods due to the impact of storms and floods.

Currently, many higher education institutions such as Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Foreign Trade University, Hanoi University of Industry, University of Transport, Hanoi Open University, some training units of Hanoi National University... have adjusted their teaching plans and switched from in-person learning to online learning to ensure the safety of students and lecturers. As for new students, some schools have allowed them to stay home until the end of this week to ensure safety, or postponed plans for health check-ups and student card issuance. Some schools have also temporarily suspended or adjusted the time of organizing activities such as opening ceremonies, welcoming new students...

The rain and floods make it difficult to get to school.

Mr. Do Ngoc Anh, Director of the Center for Information and Communication, Hanoi Open University said: “For the opening ceremony scheduled to be held on September 13 at the National Convention Center, we have temporarily postponed these activities. In terms of teaching and learning activities, the school has also directed faculties to switch from direct to online meetings so that students, especially new students who have just enrolled, can both take care of flood and inundation prevention and still ensure the training program.”

Since the online teaching system has been deployed since the Covid-19 pandemic, online teaching and learning at educational institutions has been going smoothly. At the National Economics University, for old courses of the training systems, lecturers teach directly according to the schedule and combine online teaching so that learners in areas affected by floods after the storm and cannot go to school can also participate in online learning.

Along with adjusting study plans and methods, universities are also conducting statistics on students or their families affected by floods to promptly encourage and support them.

Ms. Pham Thanh Huyen, Head of Student Affairs Department, Hanoi University of Science and Technology said: “Up to now, about 200 students have filled out information about their affected situation and requested assistance with necessities, temporary accommodation or laptops damaged by floods. Initially, the Student Affairs Department has coordinated with the Youth Union to contact the students and some students who do not have a place to stay, temporarily arranged for them to stay in dormitories, lent them laptops, and some benefactors have also supported laptops or lent them money to buy laptops. We have sent some gifts of necessities to students who really need them.”

Many schools will continue to offer online learning through the end of this week, while others will continue through next week or until further notice. Some universities are also making available dormitory space for off-campus students in high-risk areas to evacuate if necessary.
