Tens of millions of students back to school after long COVID-19 break
4/5/20
Tens of millions of students from kindergartens to high schools nationwide returned to school on Monday morning after a three-month closure to prevent COVID-19 transmission.
Among the 63 provinces and centrally-run cities in the country, 18 reopened all schools on Monday, and more than 30 others that welcomed students between sixth and 12th grades back since late April now have reopened kindergartens and primary schools.
Meanwhile, more than 10 localities, including Hà Nội and HCM City, will reopen primary schools and kindergartens later.
In HCM City, more than 150,000 ninth and 12th graders returned to school for the first time since the Tết (Lunar New Year) holidays.
Most local schools made use of the National Reunification Day and May Day holidays from April 30 to May 3 to disinfect classrooms and their campuses, prepare face masks for students, and install more hand wash basins. Many schools rearranged desks while others had to consider dividing classes into smaller ones to ensure the safe distance of one metre among students.
In Hà Nội, about 700,000 junior and senior high schools and establishments of continuing education were reopened on Monday.

Lê Hoàng Hiếu, a student from Dịch Vọng Junior High School in Cầu Giấy District said: “I am very happy to see my teachers and friends again.”
“I will seriously follow the school’s and my class’ regulations to ensure safety for me and my friends,” he said.
Aside from disinfection, a number of schools also changed the timetables of classes and continued with teaching online and on television.
However, many schools that have reopened since late April said they are facing difficulties in keeping the minimum distance of one metre among students due to the shortage of teachers and classrooms.
The Ministry of Education and Training recently issued 15 criteria for ensuring COVID-19 prevention and control at educational establishments. Any schools that are unable to meet more than seven criteria will be assessed as unsafe and not allowed to operate.

Head of Hà Nội’s Hà Đông District’s Education and Training Office Phạm Thị Lệ Hàng said all 22 junior and senior high schools in the district ensured safe distance for students by dividing students of each class into two groups. Classes are also organised at different times to ensure too many students are not at school at the same time. The first class starts at 7.30am and other classes will start 30 minutes later.
Over the last three months, schools across Việt Nam have provided teaching online and on television.
More than 22 million students nationwide had just finished the 20th week of the 2019-2020 academic year when schools had to close down almost immediately after the Lunar New Year holiday due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The school year was rescheduled to finish before July 15, one and a half months later than usual./.
