In the summer, schools in Ha Tinh actively equip students with drowning prevention skills.

The extracurricular session "Equipping skills to prevent drowning and injury accidents" of the Xuan Giang Primary School Union (Xuan Giang Commune, Nghi Xuan) was held right at the swimming pool in the commune and attracted nearly 300 students from grades 4-5 to participate.

Xuan Giang Primary School (Nghi Xuan) equips students with drowning prevention skills.

With an engaging and attractive form of propaganda, combining theory and practice, students have a better understanding of the causes and potential risks of drowning; principles of safety when swimming; rescue skills, injury prevention...

In each propaganda content, teachers also presented many situations for students to directly participate in handling such as: encountering a drowning accident, first aid methods for drowning accidents...

“This extracurricular activity is an opportunity for the school to remind and warn students about drowning prevention. This is also a way to equip them with necessary life skills, raise awareness about ensuring their own safety against potential risks of accidents, especially drowning accidents…”, Ms. Pham Thi Thuy - Team Leader (Xuan Giang Primary School) informed.

Students of Xuan Giang Primary School are equipped with drowning rescue skills.

Ky Thuong Secondary School (Ky Anh District) has just coordinated with the police force to organize propaganda and dissemination of legaleducation on traffic safety and order; drowning prevention, and forest fire prevention in 2025 for nearly 600 students, staff and teachers.

Senior Lieutenant Le Xuan Danh - an officer of Ky Thuong Commune Police said: "We have provided information and facts about drowning accidents and forest fire prevention during the hot season in the area and neighboring areas. At the same time, we have provided many situations for children to know how to handle similar situations, which is very important as they prepare to enter the summer vacation."

Police and teachers at Ky Thuong Secondary School instruct students on how to wear life jackets properly.

The extracurricular program with the theme "Water safety - survival skills" of Ly Tu Trong High School (Thach Ha) was recently organized and left a deep impression on more than 1,600 students. From the skit "Con do noi lo" recreating a drowning accident, students became more aware of subjectivity, lack of knowledge and swimming skills leading to heartbreaking consequences. After the skit, students participated in answering questions, discussing the causes and consequences of drowning, as well as the necessary skills when swimming. Useful knowledge was conveyed through the form of questions and answers, practicing drowning rescue and experiencing swimming techniques.

More than 1,600 students of Ly Tu Trong High School were provided with knowledge on drowning prevention.

Tran Van Thang - class 12A1 shared: "The dissemination of knowledge on drowning prevention was organized in the form of dramatization and dryland swimming competition to guide swimming techniques by the teacher, creating an attractive playground. It helps us remember longer the knowledge and skills about swimming, about drowning prevention to ensure our own safety and skills to handle situations when rescuing drowning people."

With creative and flexible methods, in the last days of the school year, schools are strengthening drowning prevention education for students. This meaningful activity will help students gain more useful knowledge and skills to welcome a happy and safe summer.

Teachers instruct first aid skills for drowning people to students at Ly Tu Trong High School.

In recent times, the education sector has closely coordinated with localities, relevant departments and sectors to strengthen propaganda on preventing child injuries, but many tragic drowning incidents still occur. To limit this situation, and at the same time implement the direction plan of the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Education and Training has issued a document requesting educational institutions to seriously strengthen propaganda on drowning prevention for children, diversify forms to provide skills, and raise awareness of self-protection of each student.

However, in addition to the involvement of sectors, organizations, schools and local authorities, the most important thing is still the attention and supervision from families to protect children from the risk of possible drowning accidents.
