Talking to a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Ha - Principal of Gia Vien Primary School - said that this is a school located outside the dike, so it is often flooded. This is the 2nd flood since the beginning of the school year.
This school currently has 250 students with 10 classes, currently 100% of students here have switched to online classes at home. The school has also arranged for officials and teachers to be on duty at the school to monitor the developments of rain and floods and proactively clean up and sanitize classrooms when the water recedes" - Ms. Ha shared.
