To overcome the consequences of storm No. 3 and prepare conditions to welcome students back to school, the Ministry of Education and Training requests that the Departments of Education and Training proactively review and compile statistics on the damage to facilities, teaching equipment, textbooks and school supplies of schools and students caused by storms and floods in order to have a remedial plan and report to competent authorities.

The Ministry also requested the Departments of Education and Training to promptly support and help students, families with preferential policies, students in difficult circumstances, and students affected by rain and storms to quickly stabilize their studies; implement solutions to ensure safe teaching and learning at schools. At the same time, coordinate with local textbook suppliers to promptly provide additional textbooks for students, ensure adequate supply of textbooks, and help students quickly stabilize their studies.

For units organizing the compilation and distribution of textbooks, the Ministry of Education and Training recommends that units proactively coordinate with localities to review and promptly grasp the situation of textbooks damaged by the impact of storm No. 3 to urgently print additional books and promptly supply them to teachers and students to organize teaching and learning, giving priority to students in the first and last grades; and not to let a shortage of textbooks occur.

Within the unit's capacity, coordinate with the Department of Education and Training to proactively support textbooks, notebooks, and school supplies for students from policy families and students who suffered heavy losses due to rain and storms to soon stabilize their studies.

The Ministry of Education and Training requests that the Departments of Education and Training and units immediately implement the above contents; report the implementation results and any problems to the Ministry for guidance and resolution.
