From September 30 (Tuesday), educational institutions will proactively monitor the storm's developments and post-storm circulation, report to the People's Committees of communes, wards and the Department of Education and Training to decide whether to let students continue to stay home from school if necessary.

Mr. Luu also requested to review, inspect, and strengthen school facilities, especially at isolated locations in remote areas, where there is a high risk of landslides or flooding. Assets, machinery, equipment, tables, chairs, and records need to be moved to a safe place to minimize damage and loss.

Schools and educational establishments must be ready to receive people seeking shelter from the storm when conditions are adequate to ensure safety. After the storm, it is necessary to promptly repair damage, clean up, and sanitize classrooms to ensure safety, cleanliness, and disease prevention.
