Not only that, they also had to cross 3 broken spillways, the water was very dangerous. To be safer, the teachers had to go in groups to support each other when crossing the stream. Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa (Chieu Luu 2 Kindergarten) shared: Yesterday the water rose so high that the teachers could not reach the students. Today, it was also very difficult to get to La Ngan village, but because we wanted the students to go to school as soon as possible, we crossed the forest and waded through the stream to clean up the school as quickly as possible.

| Many points on the road were eroded and there was no way to go, so teachers had to find a way to cross small paths in the forest. Mr. Phan Van Thiet - Head of the Ky Son Education Department said: Currently, the Education Department is urgently coordinating with relevant units to quickly stabilize schools and classrooms to ensure the best conditions to welcome students to the new school year. Previously, the Education Department also promptly grasped and encouraged schools to try to overcome difficulties, urgently work together to overcome the consequences, and clean up schools and classrooms as quickly as possible.
