For the 2021-2022 school year, the Ministry of Education and Training stipulates that the earliest school start date is September 1 and the opening date is September 5. For first graders, the school start date is before August 23. Based on this, Prof. Dr. Thai Van Thanh said that the Department has advised the Provincial People's Committee on the time frame for the new school year. Accordingly, for Nghe An, the school start date is September 1 and the opening date is September 5, the end of the first semester is January 16, 2022 and the second semester is May 25, 2022.
The head of the provincial education sector further analyzed: For students entering grade 1, they do not have to return to school before August 23 because the sector has a transition model for 5-year-old preschool students to grade 1 and between the two levels of education, the children have become familiar with learning in grade 1, so there is no need to return to school a week earlier.
The Director of the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An province hopes that from now on, districts, cities and towns will not use educational facilities to quarantine people returning from Covid-19 epidemic areas; and schools used for quarantine that have completed quarantine must soon carry out epidemic prevention and disinfection cleaning, spray disinfectant so that the school can receive the handover and prepare all stages for the new school year.

Regarding the opening of the new school year, Prof. Dr. Thai Van Thanh said that a plan has been made to combine in-person and online classes. Communes that are not quarantined will have an in-person opening; while communes that are quarantined will have an online opening. The sector has directed the local Department of Education to review and closely monitor the conditions and means of preparation so that students in quarantined areas can connect and celebrate the opening day even though they are at home because the day of going to school is very important for students, especially those entering grade 1.
As for preschools, many of which are being used as quarantine areas, the head of the Education Department of Nghe An province said that for preschool students, it is not called the opening day but the children's school festival; therefore, it is not necessary to organize it on September 5, but can be postponed.
The Director of the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An also requested that districts, cities and towns direct the Department of Education to review and grasp the number of students returning from epidemic areas with their families to facilitate their enrollment. The Department of Education of Nghe An will be responsible for working with localities where students return such as Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, and Dong Nai to transfer student records online or by post; parents do not have to do it directly. Nghe An has applied electronic transcripts, so it is very convenient for the process of transferring records.
