Accompanying the delegation were representatives of the Vietnam Education Trade Union, Hanoi Education Trade Union, People's Committee of My Duc district, and People's Committee of Ung Hoa district.
Care and support for teachers and students affected by storms and floods
According to information from the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, as of September 12, the whole city has 236 schools that do not organize in-person classes due to the impact of the storm and the circulation after storm Yagi; of which many schools and many roads are still deeply submerged in water.
With the attention and direction of the Hanoi Party Committee, People's Council, and People's Committee, the Department of Education and Training and the Department of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs have actively mobilized donations to support teachers and students in flood-affected areas.
On the afternoon of September 12, the working delegation visited Ung Hoa and My Duc districts - two areas with many students heavily affected by typhoon Yagi - to visit, share, and give practical and meaningful gifts, such as: life jackets, towels, candies, supplies, textbooks, notebooks, etc. to help teachers and students overcome difficulties and have enough conditions to continue teaching and learning.
In My Duc district, the working delegation directly visited and presented gifts to students and teachers of Hop Thanh B Primary School; at the same time, sent gifts and words of encouragement to teachers and students of 3 schools that are also suffering from flooding, including: An Phu B Kindergarten, An Phu Primary School, and Hop Thanh Kindergarten.
In Ung Hoa district, the delegation visited and presented gifts to students and teachers of Van Thai Primary School. According to the school leaders, Van Thai Primary School has nearly 1,000 students, of which 368 students study at the satellite school that is being flooded. With the attention of the leaders of Ung Hoa District People's Committee and Van Thai Commune People's Committee, the students have been transferred to the main school and are studying 100% in person.
Giving gifts to students and teachers, the delegation hopes that teachers and students will properly implement instructions from all levels, overcome difficulties, ensure safety, and strive to work together to teach and study well.
Proactive in planning and flexible in teaching methods
Reporting to the working group, Nguyen Thi Nhu Hoa, Principal of Hop Thanh B Primary School, My Duc District, said: the whole school has 35 teachers and staff, 683 students; of which 183 are students from Phu Hien village - an area currently suffering from flooding. Before and after the storm, the school focused on teachers and staff to coordinate with other forces to clean up, sanitize the environment, and ensure facilities to welcome students back to school on September 9.
On September 10, after receiving information from parents about some households in Phu Hien village being flooded, some houses were waist-deep in water, the school reviewed, held a meeting with the Board of Directors, and developed a "3 on-site" scenario for students in need, including "cooking, eating, and sleeping on-site". On the morning of September 12, the Phu Hien village dike overflowed, the school continued to meet to come up with a plan for all students in the village to study 2 sessions/day and eat at the boarding school. The school sent staff to buy food, bowls and spoons, and cook at the school. At noon on September 12, nearly 100 meals were provided for students, and the Youth Union took good care of the boarding school.
Also on September 12, more than 10 parents registered for their children to sleep at school because their houses were deeply flooded. For these students, the school will arrange a place to eat and sleep with full blankets; take care of their dinner, breakfast, and bath at school, to help parents feel secure.
In the coming time, if the flood continues to rise, the school will encourage parents to send their children to school to implement "3 on-site" measures to ensure safety; at the same time, we hope to continue to receive attention from all levels and sectors so that the children have adequate conditions to study.
Teacher Kieu Thi Ha, Principal of Van Thai Primary School, Ung Hoa District, shared: On the morning of September 10, prolonged heavy rain caused the school's satellite school in Thai Binh village to be deeply submerged in water. After asking for direction from the Department of Education and Training of Ung Hoa District and the People's Committee of Van Thai Commune, the school moved the school's facilities and tables and chairs from the first floor to the second floor to ensure property safety.
In order for students to study according to the school year schedule, the school has planned to switch to online teaching for more than 300 students; however, this plan is not feasible because the students are still young, their parents are away and there is not enough equipment and internet connection. From here, the school has developed a plan to move all the subject rooms at the main school to welcome all students at the satellite school to study directly.
After arranging the classrooms, there were still not enough classrooms, so the school continued to ask for opinions, borrowed rooms from the village and rooms from Van Thai Kindergarten; at the same time, supplemented necessary equipment such as tables, chairs, fans, electricity, lights, pumps... to ensure that students have a place to study with enough seats, light... The school determined that, with the current complicated weather, the relocation of students to study at the main school will take place in about 2 weeks to 1 month. Thanks to the active participation of all levels and the consensus of parents, up to now, 100% of students at the satellite school have been able to study directly according to the program; at noon, students are given full boarding meals (if parents wish).
The working delegation praised the high sense of responsibility of teachers in organizing meals, sleep and rest for students at school for those whose families were flooded; at the same time, they said that the schools had correctly followed the direction of the City People's Committee and the Hanoi Department of Education and Training in ensuring safety and maintaining learning for the students.
According to Director of Hanoi Department of Education and Training Tran The Cuong, for areas with deep and prolonged flooding such as Chuong My, Ung Hoa, Thuong Tin, Quoc Oai districts..., implementing the direction of the City People's Committee, the Department has requested the Departments of Education and Training and school principals to develop long-term plans in the spirit of flexible teaching methods, suitable to the specific situation of each school and each locality, including: online, in-person, online combined with in-person or assigning homework and tasks to students. The Department also directed units to have environmental sanitation plans, ensuring the best and safest conditions to welcome students back to school after the flood recedes....
On the morning of September 12, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training and the Hanoi Education Trade Union visited and presented gifts to teachers and students of Hoan Kiem district; and directly encouraged teachers and students of Chuong Duong Primary School.
Previously, the Hanoi Department of Education and Training contributed 1 billion VND to the Vietnam Education Trade Union to share and help students and teachers affected by storm Yagi in the northern provinces.
