Speaking to Dan Tri reporter, Ms. Tra Thi Thu, in charge of the school, said that the previous rain caused the hill behind the school to have a landslide.

The government has relocated students and teachers to the old school, about a 15-minute walk from the new school, to wait for the construction of a solid embankment for the new school.

However, the landslide is getting bigger and bigger, rocks and soil continuously slide down, making the recovery difficult. Up to now, a huge amount of rocks and soil have slid down, collapsing part of the wall of this school.
