On the morning of September 6, according to Lao Dong reporters, due to the unpredictable developments of storm No. 3 Yagi, schools and educational institutions in Thai Binh province have notified students of all grades to stay home from September 6 to September 7 to avoid the storm.
In many cases, students received late notices so they came to school and then left.
Ms. Thu Hang (30 years old, residing in Vu Phuc commune, Thai Binh city) - said: "My eldest child is in a 5-year-old kindergarten class, which just started yesterday. Last night, when I saw the rain, thunder, and strong winds, I was very worried about how to take my child to school today and how I would go to work. At dawn this morning, the teachers texted to inform that the children would be off for 2 days to avoid the storm. So I had to take my child to my grandparents' house before going to work at the company. On the way, I saw some small trees falling onto the road, and the authorities are currently cleaning up."
On the morning of September 6, the Department of Education and Training of Thai Binh issued Official Dispatch No. 1001/SGDĐT-VP to the Departments of Education and Training of districts and cities; High Schools, Provincial Continuing Education Centers and District and City Vocational Education - Continuing Education Centers regarding school closures to prevent and combat storm No. 3 in 2024.
