Meanwhile, many schools have come up with different ways to teach in a temporary situation while waiting for the reconstruction of classrooms.
Learning by others, class consolidation
If in Muong La, Son La , students at the school have to study in temporary classrooms, in many localities in the northern mountainous region, there are currently classrooms that have to borrow from cultural houses, private homes, and agencies.
Students cannot be kept out of school for too long, but many classrooms, boarding houses, cafeterias, and school kitchens must wait to be rebuilt. There are also schools at risk of having to relocate due to the risk of further landslides occurring at any time.
As of September 19, Lao Cai still has 44 schools and 6 school locations that cannot organize direct teaching. Of which, Bat Xat has 1 school and 5 school locations, Bac Ha has 8 schools, Bao Yen has 33 schools and Simacai has 1 school and 1 school location.
According to the Lao Cai Department of Education and Training, schools and school sites that have not been able to allow students to return to school are all in a state of cracked walls, with a high risk of further landslides. Some schools in villages are still isolated, and landslide-affected roads have not been cleared. Of the 44 schools and school sites mentioned above, one kindergarten in Bao Yen has allowed students to return to school but had to temporarily close due to the risk of landslides.
Speaking to Tuoi Tre, Mr. Do Huu Manh, vice principal of Nam Luc Commune Boarding School (Bac Ha, Lao Cai), said that as of September 19, students still cannot go to school because of the risk of landslides. The proposed plan is to transfer the school's secondary school students to Bao Nhai Secondary School. Primary school students will be transferred to schools in other villages or main schools in other communes.
Nam Luc School will have to be relocated to another location and rebuilt from scratch. Nam Luc is an area that suffered heavy damage in the recent storm and flood, with 8 houses buried. The school had 3 students killed, 1 student lost all of his parents and family members, 5 students were orphaned. 2 students are still missing, at least 20 students lost their homes, or their houses collapsed and were uninhabitable.
In Bat Xat, the leader of the Department of Education and Training said that there are some isolated locations with kindergarten classes and combined classes 1 and 2 whose houses have collapsed, cracked and are at risk of further landslides, so currently the classes at these schools have been moved to study at village cultural houses.
"But the classroom is temporary. The preschool children have no place to play or do activities. But at this time, finding a place for the class to reopen is good. Because rebuilding the school cannot be done right away," said Ms. Duong Thi Hoan, an expert from the Bat Xat Department of Education and Training.
Bringing students from odd locations back to the main school
In addition to the "learning by others" option, Bao Yen and Bat Xat districts have a plan to bring first and second graders from remote locations to the main school and arrange and consolidate preschool classes in neighboring locations to solve the lack of learning space due to collapsed or cracked classrooms and schools.
On September 19, preschool children and students in A Lu (Bat Xat) - a commune that suffered heavy damage and was isolated for many days due to floods - were also brought back to the main school so that they could return to school soon. Phin Ngan Secondary Boarding School (Bat Xat) had to send 9th grade students to the district's Continuing Education - Vocational Education Center to study while the school could not allow students to return to school.
In Yen Bai, as of September 19, there are still some schools that cannot let students return to school, such as Yen Ninh Primary School and Ly Thuong Kiet High School (Yen Bai City). These two schools are both submerged in mud so thick that they cannot be dredged and cleaned up to welcome students.
Because it is impossible to let senior students stay home from school for too long, from September 18, more than 300 grade 12 students of Ly Thuong Kiet High School were arranged to study at Nguyen Hue High School. Meanwhile, grade 10 and 11 students had to continue cleaning the school with their teachers and parents.
According to Mr. Luong Quang Dung - vice principal of the school, the water source for school sanitation is currently very scarce, so the repair is slower than expected.
In Tran Yen district (Yen Bai), Mr. Vu Quang Long - Head of the Department of Education and Training - said that there are still some kindergartens that cannot be repaired to reopen.
Tan Dong Primary and Secondary School (Tran Yen) had 8 classrooms damaged due to landslides, so about 300/700 secondary school students lacked places to study. The school had to arrange to transfer nearly 300 students to a nearby primary school to ensure safety.
According to Mr. Long, there is a plan to rebuild 8 classrooms with the budget or support money, but it will take several months to complete, so the above students still have to study in other schools during the first semester. Students of An Lac Kindergarten (Van Yen, Yen Bai) are also having to study in other schools because the school and the boarding kitchen collapsed.
Bac Kan also has a number of schools and school sites that are in a dangerous situation. In order for students to return to school soon, the immediate solution is to relocate students to temporary learning sites. Quang Bach Kindergarten (Cho Don District) suffered a large amount of landslides, with many cracks posing a potential safety risk.
According to Ms. Hoang Thi Men - the school's principal, the school had to consult with the commune People's Committee to borrow the cultural house as a temporary place to receive students. Currently, 84 children have to study, live, and eat at the village cultural house.

Plans suitable for actual conditions
The Ministry of Education and Training requires the Departments of Education and Training to review and have appropriate plans to bring students from schools and school locations that cannot operate to the main school or other schools in the area to study.
For students who have to travel too far from home, there are plans suitable to actual conditions to support students to study at boarding schools while overcoming the effects of floods.
The Ministry of Education and Training also requested the Departments of Education and Training to direct the mobilization of teachers in local schools to support teachers, students, and schools damaged by storms and floods so that they can organize teaching and make up for lost time for students who had to miss school due to floods.
In cases where students are too disadvantaged to attend school, the school has plans to maintain their learning, such as assigning homework, guiding students to study on their own, and assigning teachers to directly support students and groups of students...
Buy on credit rice cabinet, table and chairs
At Vu Chan Ethnic Boarding Secondary School (Vo Nhai, Thai Nguyen), nearly 200 students have returned to school but lack many things. The school still has no electricity, and there is no clean water for daily use. The principal shared that to serve the students' daily activities, the school has to bring water directly from streams to the dormitory.
Minh Chuan Primary and Secondary School (Luc Yen District, Yen Bai Province) has students returning to school, but many learning facilities are damaged. Ms. Vu Thu Huong, the school's principal, said that teachers have to overcome the lack of equipment themselves. "We have borrowed TVs from local people to use to connect to the Internet for teaching these days," Ms. Huong shared.
Ms. Bui Thi Phuong Nga, principal of Hoa Lan Kindergarten (Yen Bai City), shared that although safety has been ensured to welcome children back, difficulties still abound. The school's teaching materials and kitchen utensils were swept away. "I had to buy the rice cabinet, refrigerator and tables and chairs on credit, and buy all new bowls, plates and spoons for the children," Ms. Nga said.
