Hanoi A group of kindergarten classes had to temporarily suspend activities after being discovered cramming 11 children into a 7-seater car on a field trip.
On the afternoon of November 7, Ms. Ta Thi Hong Van, Deputy Head of the Department of Education and Training of Dong Anh district, confirmed that the People's Committee of Van Noi commune had decided to temporarily suspend the operation of the kindergarten Vuon Tre Tho - Kids Garden Kindergarten.
"This facility allowed children to go on field trips without permission and organized outdoor activities that did not comply with regulations, so the commune temporarily suspended the facility for inspection and review," said Ms. Van.
The Vuon Tre Tho kindergarten was discovered to have crammed 11 children into a 7-seater car during a picnic at a farm in Dong Anh district on November 4. Some people present at the farm filmed the scene and posted it online. In the video, the back seats of the 7-seater car were folded up to accommodate the children.
Ms. Pham Mai Dung in Ha Dong district, who shared the video, said that at that time she saw many children crying loudly, while the teacher tried to close the doors on both sides of the bus.
Along with Ms. Dung, Mr. Nguyen Vu Quan said that in the back of the car, the children had to cross their legs, and those with their legs sticking out were stuffed in to close the trunk. The driver and the teacher then sat up front.
The kindergarten representative explained that the field trip had 17 students and they planned to pick them up and drop them off in multiple groups. However, because some of the children were teachers’ children and were allowed to ride motorbikes, leaving 11 children, the teachers decided to let them all go on the same trip. The kindergarten apologized to the parents and announced its temporary suspension on November 6.
After the incident, the Department of Education and Training of Dong Anh district instructed schools in the area to strictly follow regulations when organizing field trips and experiences, ensuring safety conditions for children.
The Kindergarten is a small class group of about 25 students.
