With the new online teaching method in the current situation, the Director of the Department of Education and Training also shared about the difficulties and shortcomings. At the same time, he affirmed the policy of the industry in implementing online teaching with the aim of letting students "temporarily stop going to school but not stop learning", closely following the teaching plan of the Ministry of Education and Training and at the same time creating a habit of studying for students.

To overcome these difficulties, the Nghe An Education Department has also developed a teaching plan that is suitable for each group. In places where conditions are not yet guaranteed, it will coordinate with other forces to organize homework assignments for students. The Department will also prepare a plan so that when the social distancing period ends, it can take advantage of the time to teach and supplement knowledge for students.

In the above context, the Director of the Department of Education and Training hopes that the BishopDiocese of VinhAlphong Nguyen Huu Long and other dignitaries in parishes and churches across the province continue to support the education sector's policy. At the same time, grasp the difficulties and obstacles at the grassroots level to give suggestions to the sector for timely adjustments to suit the reality.

Currently, this school year, Nghi Loc district has more than 990 classes with 34,000 students at all levels. Of these, about 80% of students have the conditions and equipment to teach online; about 5-10% of students can study with friends or relatives. Therefore, only 10-15% of students do not have the conditions to study online, mainly concentrated in primary school.

Faced with this reality, the locality has also prepared plans and teaching methods after the opening ceremony. At the same time, the locality also encourages schools to mobilize and call for resources to support disadvantaged students.

When the epidemic in the area is under control, if the level of social distancing is reduced to Directive 15, Nghi Loc will organize direct teaching on the basis of fully implementing epidemic prevention measures. Schools will divide classes into smaller groups and into many shifts to distance students.
