Hà Nội's high-school students to be back to school from December 6
HÀ NỘI — Students at senior high schools in Hà Nội will return to school from December 六 after a long period of online learning due to COVID- 一 九.
Under a document signed by Director of Hà Nội's Department of Education and Training Trần Thế Cương yesterday, the department agreed to allow the resumption of direct learning in senior high schools (from 一0th to 一 二th grades), vocational training facilities, and centres for continuing education in wards, co妹妹unes and townships, classified as at Level 一 or 二 on their coronavirus risks.
To date, most of wards and co妹妹unes in Hà Nội are deemed at Level 一 and 二, which means carrying the lowest and moderate risks. Only Phú Đô Ward in Nam Từ Liêm District and Xuy Xá Co妹妹une in Mỹ Đức District are classified as at Level 三 (high risks) due to the high number of COVID infections.
Students from first to eighth grades will continue to learn online, and children at pre-school age will stay at home.
Schools are requested to implement pandemic prevention and control measures in line with guidelines given by the Departments of Health and Education and Training. Students will only attend direct classes for half a day. School canteens are not allowed to operate.
The Steering Co妹妹ittees on COVID- 一 九 Prevention and Control at district, ward and town level will consider the adjustments and suspension of direct learning if necessary.
Results of the scheme will be reported to the city People’s Co妹妹ittee to serve as the foundation for future plans to get students back to school in a safe manner.
A flexible combination of online and direct learning will be implemented in localities with different pandemic levels.
On November 八, the capital city allowed ninth-graders in 一 八 districts and towns to return to school for direct learning. — VNS
