Faced with the damage caused by storm No. 5 and floods, the education sector has also urgently taken action to ensure teaching and learning conditions before the new school year. Mr. Nguyen Hong Cuong - Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training said: "The sector has requested educational institutions across the province, especially areas affected by natural disasters, to conduct a thorough review of facilities, teaching equipment, textbooks and school supplies.

The education sector also requested the People's Committees of communes and wards to urgently deploy synchronous solutions, coordinate with units, organizations and individuals to provide timely support to damaged schools. In cases beyond capacity, it is necessary to immediately report to the Department of Education and Training to advise the Provincial People's Committee on effective support plans, ensuring that students have enough books and supplies right from the beginning of the new school year.

From the schools that have just been cleaned, from the classrooms with desks and chairs that have just been dried, the sound of the opening drum is about to ring out as a strong affirmation of the efforts to overcome difficulties of the studious homeland of Hong Lam.
