In Vinh city, Ms. Hoang Thi Phuong Thao - Head of the city's Department of Education and Training said: Since yesterday (September 3), the Department has directed schools to proactively develop plan 2 for the opening ceremony. However, this morning, immediately after the Department received the directive from the Department, it directed schools to change the opening ceremony schedule, especially in schools that do not have multi-function buildings or are located in low-lying or flooded areas such as Vinh Tan and Hung Hoa.

Particularly in the mountainous districts, up to now, the weather is still quite stable, without much rain. In Ky Son district, Mr. Phan Van Thiet - Deputy Head of the District Department of Education and Training said: At this time, in Ky Son there are only cloudy clouds, light sunshine, so there are not many changes to the opening ceremony. If it rains, the opening ceremony will be conducted concisely by class, because most schools in Ky Son district do not have multi-function buildings, not to mention that primary schools have many separate locations. She will lead students into the classroom to talk with them about the new school year, give instructions and encourage students' spirit in the new school year.

In Tuong Duong district, despite the rain this morning, the opening ceremony at Huu Khuong Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities still took place normally. The leader of the Tuong Duong Department of Education and Training said: If the weather is still favorable like the past few days, the schools will still hold the opening ceremony as planned.
