Schools and educational institutions should coordinate with parents to remind students to dress warmly; schools do not require students to wear uniforms on cold days.

For boarding schools, it is necessary to ensure that there is warm water to care for and serve children and students; focus on the quality of meals to ensure nutrition and keep food warm.

School health workers prepare medicine to treat common winter diseases; focus on increasing communication to parents about common cold-season diseases.

During very cold days, schools can adjust their schedules based on weather conditions. In case students are late due to weather conditions, flexible arrangements must be made so that students can attend school.
