For the future of our children

During September 10-12, when the Red River water level reached alert level 2, local authorities had to constantly monitor the river water situation to plan to evacuate students to prevent flooding at educational facilities in the coastal areas of Linh Nam, Thanh Tri, and Tran Phu wards.

Of the 92 educational institutions in Hoang Mai district, 3 schools belonging to the MAY education system were the most severely affected, with 27 trees falling from 4 directions onto the school, blocking the entrance. The fallen trees also damaged several classrooms.

Thanks to the active efforts of the leaders of Hoang Mai district, Dinh Cong ward has basically overcome the situation of large fallen trees blocking the way, 10 days after the storm.

Assistant to the Chairwoman of the MAY School Board, Mai Thi Thuy Dung, said that the school is a private inter-level school (from kindergarten to high school) with nearly 3,000 students, and was severely damaged by storm No. 3. Over the past week, the Chairman/Vice Chairman of the Hoang Mai District People's Committee visited the school three times to inspect and urge the work to overcome the consequences.
