Accordingly, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training requests that affiliated schools, districts, towns, and educational institutions disseminate information and strictly implement measures to ensure the safety of students participating in social activities and experiential learning.

The Hanoi Department of Education and Training also advises schools against organizing spontaneous experiential activities and field trips.

In previous directives and guidelines, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training required educational institutions to obtain permission from the management level when organizing field trips and experiential activities. This permission had to clearly state the time, location, participants, duration, and whether the activities were age-appropriate.

The first requirement set by this department is to ensure the safety of students participating in field trips and experiential activities.

Regarding the incident in which a parent and student died while participating in a clam-catching activity at Xuan Thuy National Park, the latest report from the Department of Education and Training of Nam Tu Liem District to the Hanoi Department of Education and Training states that teachers from the school have visited, encouraged, and offered condolences to the families of the two victims.

After receiving the information, the Department of Education and Training of Nam Tu Liem District investigated the incident, and its leaders and staff visited the families of the two victims to offer condolences.

This unit has directed schools to coordinate with relevant authorities and families to resolve the incident and promptly handle other arising situations in order to stabilize students' psychology and discipline.

The Department of Education and Training also educates students about school security and safety, and the prevention of drowning accidents, especially as summer approaches.

At the same time, the Department of Education and Training of Nam Tu Liem District requested schools in the area to strengthen propaganda and education on moral conduct and lifestyle, pay attention to school counseling... for students; and to focus on safety and security in schools, preventing and combating accidents, injuries, and drowning accidents.

Previously, as Thanh Nien newspaper reported, on May 20th, a 6th-grade student and a parent in Hanoi died while participating in a clam-catching activity at Xuan Thuy National Park.

The field trip was organized by a class with approximately 50 participants, including students and parents, with one parent appointed as the group leader.
