Phu Tho arranges temporary study places for students after Phong Chau bridge collapse

According to the Phu Tho Department of Education and Training, the collapse of Phong Chau Bridge and the ban on vehicles passing through Trung Ha and Tu My Bridges have greatly affected the daily schooling of a number of students. Among them, students residing in Lam Thao and Cam Khe districts go to study at educational institutions in Tam Nong district and vice versa. In addition, there are students residing in Ba Vi district (Hanoi) who go to study at educational institutions in Tam Nong district.

Phu Tho Department of Education and Training requested the Department of Education and Training of Lam Thao, Tam Nong, and Cam Khe to direct kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools in the area to review and grasp the number of children and students going to school every day through Phong Chau and Tu My bridges.

The units coordinated to receive children and students who need to temporarily study at kindergartens, primary schools, and secondary schools in the area while repairing the broken Phong Chau bridge and banning vehicles from crossing Tu My and Trung Ha bridges.

For high schools and continuing education centers in Tam Nong, Lam Thao, and Cam Khe districts, review and make a list of students. Organize the handover of students of the unit who need to temporarily study at the other unit; receive students of the other unit who need to temporarily study at their unit (including students residing in Tam Nong district who are currently studying at some high schools in Ba Vi district, Hanoi ).

Students are temporarily arranged into classes with flexible combinations of elective subjects, ensuring maximum coverage of the subjects students study.

The Department requires schools to regularly exchange information, situation and learning results of students. At the same time, closely coordinate with parents to manage, support and help students during the temporary study process.

When the temporary bridge replaces Phong Chau bridge and Trung Ha bridge and Tu My bridge are opened to traffic, the units will hand over students and their learning and training results to the old units. After that, the schools will develop and implement plans to test, make up for, and reinforce knowledge for the students of the unit after the time the students are temporarily studying.

Previously, at around 10:00 a.m. on September 9, Phong Chau bridge on National Highway 32C across the Red River connecting Tam Nong and Lam Thao districts of this province collapsed.

The Department of Transport of Phu Tho province said the cause was due to storm No. 3 causing floods, causing the Red River to rise, the rapid flow changed the riverbed's terrain, toppled pillar T7 and collapsed two main spans of Phong Chau bridge (spans 6 and 7).

According to the report of Phu Tho Provincial People's Committee, in the Phong Chau bridge collapse, 1 truck, 1 car, 5 motorbikes, 1 electric bicycle were swept away. Currently, rescue work is still being deployed.
