Dozens of students were forced to stay at school to avoid the flood.

(Dan Tri) - In the face of heavy rains that pose a risk of flooding and landslides, the Department of Education and Training of Da Nang City has requested the People's Committee Chairmen of communes and school heads to proactively decide to let students stay home from school.

On October 26, according to a report from the People's Committee of Tra Leng Commune, Da Nang City, due to the complicated heavy rain weather, the Leng River rose high and flowed rapidly, leading to the risk of landslides on the embankment at Tra Leng 2 Primary School.

Meanwhile, at Tra Leng 1 Secondary School, 35 boarding students were asked to stay at school.

Tra Leng Commune People's Committee has directed the school to strictly instruct students not to go out, and at the same time assigned teachers to monitor and grasp the situation to ensure safety.

On the same afternoon, the Department of Education and Training of Da Nang city issued an official dispatch to the People's Committees of wards, communes, and schools on proactively responding to bad weather.

The Department of Education and Training requires heads of units and schools to have plans to ensure safety for teachers, workers, preschool children, students, trainees and property and documents of units and schools in the face of rain and floods.

Chairmen of People's Committees of wards and communes, heads of schools and centers (especially in mountainous areas at risk of landslides and flash floods) shall decide, based on the actual situation, to allow preschool children, students and trainees to take time off from school (when necessary).

The Department of Education and Training notes that in all situations, when preschool children, students, and trainees are still present at school, the school must assign teachers and staff to manage, care for, and ensure safety.

Boarding and semi-boarding schools for ethnic minorities must strengthen the management and care of preschool and primary school students, and not let students go home when safety conditions are not guaranteed.

Vocational education institutions and private universities, based on the situation, proactively decide on students' attendance.
