Director of the provincial Department of Education and Training Bui Thi Kim
Tuyen said before allowing students to go back to school, the department
proposed the provincial People's Committee issue a decision on adjusting the
school time for the 2019-2020 academic year for all educational levels in the
locality.
In particular, to ensure the safety of officials, teachers, and students, the
education and training sector has continuously directed schools to seriously
implement the directives of the government and the province on disease
prevention and control, as well as avoid negligence.
The sector has devised appropriate solutions to cope with any circumstances.
Schools were asked to map out plans for providing additional knowledge for 9th
and 12th graders. Previously, the department had directed schools to be
flexible, depending on their practical requirements to offer lessons via the
internet and television for these students.
Nguyen Tien Duc, Vice Principal of Hoang Van Thu High School for Gifted
Students, said most of the students were excited to come back school and they
are aware of taking preventive measures such as wearing face masks on the way
to school and during class.
