Hanoi students have day off tomorrow, October 1st.

Due to the incessant flooding, some schools in Hanoi have made plans for students to stay at school. The Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training has decided to let students in the entire city stay home tomorrow, October 1.

Schools provide meals and accommodation for stranded students

Many parents said their children were allowed to take the afternoon off but were "stuck" at school due to heavy rain causing flooding. Parents also had to stay at work because many roads were heavily flooded...

Since early this afternoon, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Khang, Chairman of the Marie Curie School Board, has continuously sent notices to school staff and parents about plans to ensure student safety.

In addition to letting students leave school early and arranging buses to take them home, Mr. Khang asked all levels of education to assign some teachers and supervisors to stay and watch over the students until their families took them home. The kitchen prepared instant noodles and sausages for students who stayed late to eat.

In the "special notice to respond to bad weather", the head of Marie Curie School requested: the school not to let students and everyone go hungry or cold because they cannot return home; dinners are completely free; the school kitchens, teachers and supervisors take care of food and sleeping places for those who have to stay at school on the night of September 30.

Teachers at Marie Curie School stayed to serve dinner to students "stuck" at school on the evening of September 30.

Teacher Nguyen Xuan Khang said that at nearly 7 p.m., about 150 students were still at school and had enough to eat. If the children still couldn't go home tonight, there were "warm blankets and soft mattresses" available in the school's boarding rooms for them to sleep in. Teachers were also assigned to stay and take care of the children. "Children are happy, full, and parents are at ease. That's all I hope for," said Teacher Khang.

Similarly, the Lomonosov education system also sent messages to parents informing them that they would provide dinner for students and look after students overnight to ensure safety in the situation of heavy rain and flooding in many streets and roads in Hanoi.

Accordingly, Lomonosov Primary School still has 50 students who have not been picked up by their parents. The middle school and high school have about 60 students stuck. The school said that they have gathered the children and given them a light meal. By 7 p.m., for students who have not been picked up, the school has provided dinner and let the children sleep overnight at the school. The school board has assigned leaders and teachers to assist parents in ensuring the safety of their children.

Similarly, Nguyen Tat Thanh School has gathered students stuck at school in the library. The school announced that it will organize meals and rest to ensure the health of students and teachers, staff who cannot return home.

The school has planned to arrange dormitories for female and male students in two separate areas, with teachers assigned to manage them. Students will also be given personal hygiene items such as towels and toothbrushes, and the school will take care of their breakfast tomorrow.

Students across Hanoi will be off school on October 1st.

Director of the Department of Education and Training Tran The Cuong said: "Due to the continued heavy rain affecting learning and the transportation system throughout the city, the Director of the Department of Education and Training of Hanoi has decided that all educational institutions in the city will be closed tomorrow, October 1. Schools and teachers can flexibly teach online for students."

Previously, the Department of Education and Training issued a document requesting: "Educational units and facilities affected by storms and floods where students cannot go to school to study and live must proactively develop appropriate learning plans and forms.

Absolutely do not organize extracurricular activities or group activities, especially in areas with landslides. Establish a communication channel with parents to manage students when participating in local activities, minimizing the risks that may occur due to storms and rains.
