Specifically, in Ky Son district, according to Mr. Nguyen Hong Hoa - Head of the Department of Education, due to the weather today (January 10) in Ky Son falling below 5 degrees, the Department of Education has proactively allowed primary schools and kindergartens in Nam Can, Nam Can, Muong Long, and Na Ngoi communes to close. The closure may be extended because frost has appeared in many places.

In the face of the cold weather, the Department of Education and Training has just issued a document requesting schools to closely monitor the weather. In addition, depending on the weather, kindergartens and primary schools will proactively let students stay home when the temperature drops below 10 degrees.⁰C.

For secondary schools and affiliated units, direct students to stay home when the temperature drops below 7 degrees.⁰C. Before deciding to suspend school, it is necessary to widely inform students and the public about the reason for the suspension, the duration of the suspension, and the expected time for students to return to normal school.

At this time, to ensure the health of students, the Department also requires schools to closely inspect the facilities of classrooms and functional rooms, close windows and doors, cover vents, and avoid drafts and cold winds entering the classroom.

In addition, it is necessary to coordinate with parents to remind children to wear enough warm clothes when going to school; limit outdoor activities as much as possible. If the school break is long, schools must have a plan to make up for it and absolutely must not combine classes or cut the program.
