TPO - In Ha Tinh, as of the morning of November 3, 18,464 students had to stay home from school due to prolonged heavy rain causing flooding and cutting off many roads.

Of which, the preschool, primary and secondary school sectors have 28 schools with 13,417 students, 408 classes are absent due to many schools being isolated and partially flooded.

Particularly at the intermediate and college sectors, Ha Tinh Vocational College and Nguyen Du College recorded 1,121 students, 31 classes are absent due to floods.

The cause is that the heavy rains and floods in recent days have caused many inter-village and inter-commune roads to be partially flooded, making traffic difficult; some residential areas and schools have been isolated, and many schools are deeply submerged in water.

Cam My Kindergarten in Cam Due commune is deeply flooded.

The Ha Tinh Department of Education and Training requires its affiliated units to closely monitor weather developments and promptly inform staff, teachers, students and parents to proactively prevent the spread of the disease.

At Ha Huy Tap High School (Ha Tinh), the water was more than 1 meter deep.

The school yard was flooded.

Schools will assign staff to be on duty 24/7, proactively relocate and preserve facilities and teaching equipment; ensure communication and regular reporting. After the flood recedes, schools will urgently clean classrooms, disinfect, and clean the environment to soon stabilize teaching and learning again.

Currently, the Ha Tinh Department of Education continues to coordinate with localities to closely monitor the flood situation, with the highest goal being the safety of students and teachers, while minimizing disruption to learning.
