Difficulty for students going to school during flood season

Many rural roads were flooded, affecting people's travel.

Vinh Chau Commune, one of the lowest-lying localities in the Dong Thap Muoi region of the province, these days, people are struggling to cope with rain and floods because many rice fields are threatened by floods, hundreds of houses are flooded, causing difficulties to people's lives.

Mr. Duong Vu Luan (Vinh Chau commune, Tay Ninh province) said: "The road in front of his house is deeply flooded, causing difficulties for dozens of households in the area to travel. Now, every day to go to work, he has to row a boat across the river, and in the afternoon, he has to row a boat home, which is very inconvenient."

Every day, Mr. Duong Vu Luan has to take a boat across the canal to work.

The floodwaters rose quickly and high, many roads in Vinh Chau commune were flooded, most notably Provincial Road 837B, the West and East banks of Ngang Canal with a length of several kilometers, making it difficult for students to go to school. To ensure their children go to school safely these days, many parents had to give up their jobs and take advantage of their time to pick up and drop off their children.

Students go to school during flood season

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy (Vinh Buu hamlet, Vinh Chau commune), the road to school is so flooded that it is impossible to travel by motorbike. Every day, she has to use a motorboat to take her children to school. Although it is difficult and tiring, she still tries for safety.

Many parents have to quit their jobs and take their children to school to ensure safety.

Students wear life jackets when participating in water traffic.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - Vice Principal of Vinh Dai Primary School, Vinh Chau Commune said: "This year's flood water level is higher than every year, the school has about 30 students who are brought to school by their families every day. The school has proactively promoted to parents to wear life jackets when picking up and dropping off their children; promoted to students about traffic conditions during flood season to ensure safety when going to school; and supported life jackets for students going to school."

According to statistics from Vinh Chau commune, there are currently about 200 students in the local schools who are taken to school by their parents. However, in reality, there are students who, due to family circumstances, have to go to school alone even though the roads are flooded. Some parents also disregard the safety of their children, such as not wearing life jackets when taking them to school, causing unsafety./.
