Many schools in Hanoi continue to let students stay home on October 8.

Many schools in Hanoi have decided to continue online learning today, October 8. Some other schools have reopened to welcome children but allow parents to choose whether or not to send their children to school.

In the flood-prone area, Trung Yen Primary School reported that the circulation of storm No. 11 Matmo until the evening of October 7 was still causing rain and many areas were still flooded. To ensure the safety of students, the school continued to conduct online teaching on October 8.

The school recommends that parents prepare equipment, transmission lines and other conditions to ensure students can study conveniently and safely at home. “Homeroom teachers will support and guide parents and students to access the online teaching system,” the notice said.

Trung Hoa Secondary School said that up to now, some areas in the area are deeply flooded, making travel difficult and potentially dangerous. To ensure the safety of students, teachers and staff, on October 8, Trung Hoa Secondary School continued to organize online teaching according to the schedule.

“We request that homeroom teachers inform students to maintain order in online classes and ensure the quality of learning. We sincerely thank parents for their support, understanding and trust, and teachers for their enthusiastic participation,” the school wrote.

Based on the actual situation, Xuan Phuong High School also decided to continue organizing online teaching for all students on October 8.

“Teachers are requested to continue to maintain serious and quality online teaching. Teachers should pay attention to spending time at the beginning of each class to take attendance,” the school announcement said.

At Tay Mo Secondary School, after consulting with parents in class groups, the school announced that, in accordance with the wishes of the majority of parents and teachers, the school decided to continue online learning for all students. Many students of the school live in areas that are deeply flooded, making travel difficult and potentially dangerous.

A long stretch of Le Quang Dao Street, passing My Dinh Stadium, was flooded on October 7 after prolonged rain.

Some other schools decided to welcome children back and organize normal teaching, but allow flexibility in parents' choices.

Dong Nhan Primary School announced that today, October 8, teaching and boarding will be held as usual. However, the school also reminded parents to consider the weather and actual living conditions of their place to proactively decide whether or not to send their children to school to ensure safety.

Nguyen Sieu Primary School also announced that on October 8, students will return to boarding school.

However, the school notes that to ensure the safety of students and the convenience of parents, families can choose the most suitable option based on the rainy and flooded conditions in their living area. In case students cannot come to school, parents should inform the homeroom teacher to receive support with learning materials and make up plans for the students.

Previously, on October 6, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training requested school principals and heads of units to base on actual weather conditions in the area, physical facilities and traffic safety conditions to proactively decide on appropriate teaching and learning methods (in-person, online or adjusted timetables); ensuring absolute safety for students, staff, teachers and employees.

The Hanoi Department of Education and Training also requires schools to closely monitor weather developments; review and clear drainage systems, schoolyards, cafeterias, and boarding areas. At the same time, arrange to be on duty, update and promptly report on rain and flooding situations, and impacts on teaching and learning activities (if any) to the Department for synthesis and handling according to regulations.
