Students in Hue are once again staying home from school to avoid heavy rain and flooding.

TPO - From the morning of October 27th, more than 294,000 students in Hue City continued to stay home from school to ensure their safety amidst the complicated flood situation. This is the second time in less than a week that students across the city have had to temporarily stop attending school due to bad weather.

On the evening of October 26th, the Hue City Department of Education and Training issued an urgent notice to all schools in the area, requesting that students be given a day off on October 27th.

Heavy rains causing prolonged flooding have forced many schools in Hue to close for the past few days.

The announcement was made at a time when Hue was experiencing prolonged heavy rain, causing river levels to rise, and hydroelectric reservoirs to increase water release downstream, putting many areas at risk of flooding and isolation, posing potential dangers to transportation.

In response to this situation, following the directives of the Hue City People's Committee, the City Department of Education and Training has requested schools and educational institutions to proactively implement measures to protect facilities, while also promptly informing parents and students about school closures and flood response plans.

Earlier, on October 22nd, the entire city of Hue also suspended classes for over 294,000 students to cope with Typhoon Fengshen (Typhoon No. 12) and prolonged heavy rain. Although the initial plan was to suspend classes for two days, October 22nd and 23rd, due to the continued heavy rain, 200 out of a total of 574 schools in the city had to temporarily close on October 24th.
