TPO - Due to the impact of floods, on the morning of September 20, nearly 12,000 students in the two mountainous districts of Huong Khe and Huong Son ( Ha Tinh ) had to stay home from school.

On September 20, Mr. Phan Quoc Thanh, Head of the Department of Education and Training of Huong Khe district (Ha Tinh), said that due to heavy rain and the risk of flooding in some areas, today, 24/55 schools from kindergarten to junior high school in the district proactively let students stay home.

Many teachers in Ha Tinh cleaned up their belongings to prevent damage caused by floods.

In Huong Son district, heavy rain and the rapid rise of the Ngan Pho River have caused many roads and bridges to be partially flooded. This morning, 3 schools including Son Linh Kindergarten, Son Kim 2 Kindergarten and Son Kim 2 Primary School had about 1,000 students stay home from school.

Head of the Department of Education and Training of Huong Son district - Nguyen Truong Giang said that at other schools, some children in remote areas, at risk of flooding and flash floods, were also proactively allowed by their parents to stay home from school to ensure safety.

In particular, some parents from other schools were worried that the floodwaters would cause separation, so they proactively came to pick up their children early. Some schools are located in low-lying areas, and teachers are also cleaning up their belongings to prevent damage caused by the flood.
