Students in the mountainous region of Nghe An province struggle against the cold weather.
(Baonghean.vn) - These days, temperatures in many mountainous areas of Nghe An province have dropped below 10 degrees Celsius. To cope with the cold and continue their studies, students in communes such as Na Ngoi, Nam Can, and Muong Long in Ky Son district have brought firewood to school to light fires for warmth.

| According to regulations, if the temperature drops below 7 degrees Celsius, junior high school students are given a day off to avoid the cold. However, at night, in mountainous areas like Na Ngoi, Muong Long, and Nam Can... in Ky Son district, the temperature sometimes drops to around 5 degrees Celsius, and then rises during the day. Therefore, students in some communes still have to continue studying to ensure the curriculum is completed. As a result, many students, taking advantage of the weekend break to go home, brought firewood to school to keep warm. Photo: Dao Tho |
