Leaders of Nghe An Department of Education and Training visited 5 families of drowned students

On the afternoon of June 2, leaders of the Department of Education and Training and Yen Thanh district went to Trung Thanh commune to burn incense and offer condolences to the families of the students.

The five drowning victims were all 8A grade students of Trung Thanh Secondary School (Yen Thanh). On the morning of May 30 (one day after the end-of-year ceremony), the students went on a picnic at Trai Xanh Dam (Bac Thanh Commune). At around 1:00 p.m., while playing near the water's edge, one student slipped and fell into a deep hole. At that time, a group of five students jumped in to save him and were swept away by the current. Only one student was lucky enough to be saved.

Visiting the families of the unfortunate students, Director of the Department of Education and Training Thai Van Thanh and members of the delegation shared the painful loss of the families. The drowned children were all good and studious students.

Before that, right after the incident, the Department and the Education Trade Union were also present at the scene to support the families and local authorities in handling the incident. At the same time, a portion of the budget was allocated to visit the families of the victims.

Regarding the prevention of drowning accidents for students, before the summer vacation, the Department of Education and Training also issued a document requesting schools to strengthen propaganda work. At the same time, it reminded schools to absolutely not allow students to play or frolic near ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, canals, ditches, construction pits, places with potential drowning risks.

The Director of the Department of Education and Training also stipulates: If school principals and teachers in charge of school units do not seriously implement this, causing students to lack knowledge and skills, leading to death from drowning, depending on the severity, they may not be considered for emulation or their emulation rank may be downgraded.
