The hardship of teachers in the mountainous area of Nghe An overcoming floods to get to school
(Baonghean.vn) - Heavy rains in recent days have caused many streams in the mountainous districts of Nghe An to rise. To get to schools and remote locations, teachers have had to risk their lives by helping each other cross streams and ravines.
 Heavy rain for many days has caused the water level in the streams and creeks of Ban Ve hydroelectric reservoir to rise higher and higher. Many teachers at schools in Huu Khuong commune (Tuong Duong district) were forced to join groups to support each other when crossing dangerous streams. Photo: Duc Son |

| According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Son, a teacher at Huu Khuong Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities, the water level in the lake was low before, so it was possible to travel on open trails. When the water level rose, these trails were flooded, forcing teachers to cross streams and creeks to get to school. Photo: Duc Son |

| Due to heavy rain, many teachers had to follow small paths in the forest. "We had to support each other as we walked, it took us all day to cross streams and walk through the forest to reach these two villages" - said Ms. Vi Thi Nga, a teacher at Mon Son 2 Primary School (Con Cuong).
