Following the direction of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, schools in the capital have "urgently" announced that students will be off school tomorrow, August 21.

Tonight, August 20, schools in Hanoi "urgently" announced that students will be off school tomorrow.

So, tomorrow will be the first day off, August 21, so to promptly notify parents and students, schools have used many information channels such as Zalo, communication apps between families and schools.

The emergency school closure notice was sent to parents by teachers on the evening of August 20.

For schools and educational institutions in other wards and communes, based on actual conditions, the school principal shall consider and decide on allowing students to take time off from school during the practice, preliminary rehearsal, and general rehearsal of the Anniversary Ceremony, parade, and march.

Hanoi also directed schools in areas where parades and processions pass by to open their doors to serve people and tourists, providing them with places to stop, rest, and use personal hygiene, ensuring respect and hospitality.
