The Director of the Department of Education and Training also shared the pressure with schools when having to teach in the context of the epidemic. However, in the general spirit of the Government, schools also need to be flexible in implementation. During the direction process, we should not be rigid but must respond flexibly and be able to organize activities so that students can interact in class and each class can still organize outdoor activities if safety regulations are ensured.

During the epidemic prevention process, schools need to have school psychology counseling teams and youth unions to monitor students' psychological performance and coordinate with parents to support students, helping students develop normally. If students are found to be weak or have deficiencies in any area, they need to be supported to ensure that they do not have gaps in their knowledge. To ensure safety, the Department requires that if a school has F0 students, they must be treated for at least 7 days before allowing students to return to school.
