Nghe An schools continue to close to focus on overcoming storm consequences

GD&TĐ - About 500 schools in Nghe An were affected by storm Bualoi. Tomorrow (September 30), schools in the province will continue to close to overcome the consequences.

Many schools cannot organize teaching after the storm

Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh - Head of the Department of Culture and Society of Quy Chau Commune ( Nghe An ) said: By this evening (September 29), many areas of Quy Chau Commune had begun to see water rising and in some places, half of the houses were submerged. Traffic in the entire area was cut off and could not be circulated.

Some schools, such as the two separate kindergarten and primary schools in Ta Soi village, have been flooded to the roof and students will have difficulty going to school this week. Because many areas have lost phone signal, the commune is currently unable to estimate the damage to schools and teachers. Temporarily, students in the area cannot go to school.

In Tuong Duong commune, according to Mr. Nguyen Van Hien - Head of the Department of Culture and Society, schools in the area are basically stable in terms of facilities, not severely damaged by storm Bualoi. However, traffic roads in the area are heavily eroded, especially National Highway 7, and inter-commune roads.

Many villages and hamlets were thus isolated, including Na Be and Hop Thanh villages which were isolated due to landslides. In addition, the cluster of four villages Chan, Lau, Mac and Nhan on the other side of the Ca River were also isolated and inaccessible.

To ensure the safety of students and teachers, the locality has assigned schools to organize teaching and learning based on actual developments, ensuring the safest possible conditions for teachers and students when they come to school. According to the report, tomorrow (September 30), schools will still allow students to stay home from school.
