Educational institutions with organized boarding schools decide the time (specific hours) and promptly notify parents to pick up their children (possibly after lunch); assign teachers and management staff to take care of preschool children and students when parents have not arrived to pick them up.
Boarding and semi-boarding schools for ethnic minorities must strengthen management and care for students; do not let students return home without ensuring safety conditions.

When an incident or problem arises (before, during and after the storm), promptly report to the Department of Education and Training and local leaders for handling instructions.
The decision to let preschool children, students, and trainees stay home from school due to heavy rain before and after the storm causing flooding and landslides in localities is implemented according to Official Dispatch No. 1788/SGDĐT-VP dated October 21, 2025 of the Department of Education and Training on proactively responding to storm No. 12.
