Students in Da Nang City and Quang Ngai Province were given a day off from school from the afternoon of November 6 to avoid storm Kalmaegi, which is expected to directly impact the central region.

On the afternoon of November 5, the Department of Education and Training of Da Nang City issued an official dispatch regarding students being off school to ensure safety before storm No. 13 (storm Kalmaegi).

Accordingly, all preschool children, students and trainees in the city will be off school on the afternoon of November 6. Vocational training institutions and private universities and colleges will proactively decide on students' attendance based on the actual situation.

The Department of Education and Training requires units to seriously implement the document on proactively responding to storm No. 13, absolutely not to be negligent or subjective. Schools must prepare plans to ensure the safety of teachers, students, and trainees, as well as school property and documents.

Educational institutions are required to promptly notify parents; arrange teachers and staff to manage preschool children and students during the break; for boarding schools, it is necessary to stop receiving food to avoid wasting meals.

Schools with boarding students need to arrange teachers and staff on duty to ensure safety in case students cannot return home due to storms or heavy rain.

After the storm, schools need to urgently repair damage, clean classrooms, prevent epidemics, and quickly stabilize teaching and learning. The Department should not be rigid in organizing teaching and learning before and after the storm; at the same time, pay attention to, support, and encourage teachers, students, and families facing difficulties due to natural disasters...

On the same day, the Department of Education and Training of Quang Ngai province also announced that students at all educational institutions in the province will be off from school from the afternoon of November 6 until further notice, to proactively respond to storm Kalmaegi.
