The flood has passed, but in the mountainous communes of Nghe An, many schools are still isolated; in many places, students and teachers are at risk of not being able to go to school because of prolonged isolation. Relief work and flood relief for schools before the new school year is still very difficult.
This is the scene of Muong Tip Kindergarten (Muong Tip Commune) on August 3, more than a week after the flood passed. The entire school campus was submerged in mud, making recovery difficult. Photo: CSCCTo support schools in overcoming storms and floods, the provincial Boarding High School for Ethnic Minorities volunteered to send dozens of teachers to travel more than 200 km to participate in cleaning. Photo: CSCCThe clean-up was extremely difficult as the school yard and floors were covered in mud. Teaching aids, toys and equipment were also damaged or washed away by the water. Photo: CSCCAlso in Muong Tip commune, Muong Tip 2 Primary School for Ethnic Minorities was also severely damaged by the flood.

Photo: CSCCMr. Tran Gia Thao - Principal of Muong Tip 2 Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities said: Up to this point, the school has received rice and some boarding supplies. However, preparing for boarding for 150 ethnic minority students of the school is still difficult because they have lost all their personal belongings such as blankets, mats, mosquito nets... The school has also lost all the supplies to organize boarding for students. In the photo: The Provincial Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities gives support to schools in Muong Tip commune. Photo: CSCCDue to the isolated terrain, exactly one week after the historic flood passed, the cleaning work at the Buoc village school of Bac Ly Kindergarten (Bac Ly commune) was carried out in the form of "4 on-site", carried out by teachers and local people. To reach this school, from the main school, teachers have to walk 5 hours, a distance of 8 km. The landslide and isolation may continue, because currently there is no motor vehicle that can access it. Photo: CSCCMany teaching aids at Bac Ly Kindergarten were damaged after the flood. Teacher Do Thi Nga - Principal of Bac Ly Kindergarten said that because it is located near a stream, when the flood came, the entire classroom area was submerged in mud, some places were more than 1 meter high. Next to it is the kitchen area with boarding equipment that was completely swept away by the flood. Currently, the inside of the classrooms has been basically cleaned and teachers have also tried to find some reusable equipment. But outside the classrooms, we have to wait for machinery support, it is not known when the cleaning and tidying work will be completed. Photo: NTCCLocated right on Route 7, Luu Kien Ethnic Boarding Secondary School (Tuong Duong Commune) is a newly invested and built school with complete classrooms, functional rooms and boarding houses for students. Although located at a fairly high position, the recent flood caused the water to rise so quickly that it flooded the school, causing the classrooms to be submerged 1 meter deep and damaging many equipment and school supplies. Along with that, all the rice reserves for boarding students entering the new school year were also submerged.

Teacher Tran Quoc Duong - Principal of the school added: Up to this point, we have basically finished cleaning the classrooms, but all the desks, chairs, and beds for more than 200 students are almost beyond repair because they are made of plywood and have been submerged in water for too long. We are also drying 10 sets of computers, televisions and interactive screens, but the possibility of reusing them is not high. Repurchasing facilities and teaching equipment is beyond the capacity of the school as well as parents and students. This is what we worry about most as the new school year is near. Photo: NTCCTo support schools in mountainous areas damaged by floods, last weekend, the Department of Education and Training went to Tam Hop and Tuong Duong communes to assess the situation and hand over more than VND400 million in support.

This school is located right next to the Nam Non River, so when it rains heavily, the rising river water has flooded the entire row of level 4 buildings of the school. Of which, 9 classrooms and 1 English room have most of their desks, chairs, and teaching equipment damaged. With only 1 month left until the start of the new school year, the school is worried that there will not be enough desks and chairs for students. Photo: My HaThe working group of the Department of Education and foreign language centers in the province has provided support to 15 schools in Tam Hop and Tuong Duong communes affected by floods. Of these, 3 schools suffered heavy damage, namely Luu Kien Primary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities, Luu Kien Secondary Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities and Xa Luong Secondary School, each receiving 50 million VND. The remaining schools received 25 million VND each. The Department also visited 45 preschool teachers in Tam Hop, Tuong Duong, Nhon Mai, Mai Son communes... The total amount of support for schools and teachers this time is more than 550 million VND. According to the plan, in the coming days, Nghe An Department of Education and Training will directly visit a number of schools and school locations in the flood-affected areas to grasp the situation and soon find solutions to restore and prepare conditions for the new school year 2025 - 2026.
