Ensuring student health in winter

Located at an altitude of nearly 900m above sea level, Van Ho commune is always subject to cold air waves, accompanied by rain and fog, which significantly affect the study and daily life of students. Schools in the area always pay attention to keeping warm in winter, ensuring the health of students, especially preschool and primary school students.

This school year, Long Luong Primary School has over 742 students, 36 classes, including 7 satellite schools. In winter, the temperature here is often low, humidity is high, there is a lot of fog, and sometimes there is frost. To ensure the health of students, as soon as November comes, the school adjusts the class start time to 15 minutes later, shortening recess to 10 minutes. At the same time, outdoor activities are limited on cold days, instead, teachers organize some physical activities in the classroom between lessons, helping students increase their body temperature.

Classrooms of Long Luong Primary School are airtight, have enough light, and serve teaching and learning activities.

Ms. Bui Thi Minh Hong, Vice Principal of Long Luong Primary School, shared: The school's facilities include 46 classrooms and functional rooms, ensuring they are solid, airtight, and have adequate lighting to serve teaching and learning activities well. Along with solutions to keep students warm in the winter, the school has mobilized social resources and benefactors to receive 100 coats and scarves for students in difficult circumstances.

At Van Ho Kindergarten, for nearly a month now, the school has adjusted the children's lunch time 30 minutes earlier, so that students can study and rest earlier during the cold season. The meal is hygienic with full of hot, delicious and nutritious meat and vegetables. After the meal, the school prepares warm water for children to clean themselves, and uses separate towels and tissues for children when coughing and sneezing to prevent the spread of pathogens.

The school's Board of Directors directs teachers in charge of classes to closely monitor the children's health, regularly communicate and remind parents to pay attention to keeping their children warm when taking them to and from school.

Ms. Ban Thi Thanh, Suoi Lin village, Van Ho commune, shared: My family always prepares warm clothes for our children; and works with the teachers to inform them about their health status and take care of them during the days when the temperature drops. I feel very secure when sending my children to school.
