According to regulations, if the weather drops below 7 degrees Celsius, secondary school students will be given a day off to avoid the cold. However, at night, in mountainous areas such as Na Ngoi, Muong Long, Nam Can... of Ky Son district, the temperature sometimes drops to around 5 degrees Celsius, and increases during the day. Therefore, students in some communes still have to continue studying to ensure the program. Therefore, taking advantage of the weekend to go home, many students brought firewood to school to warm up.
