Strengthening drowning prevention for students

(Baonghean.vn) - Faced with the increasing number of drowning cases among students during hot summers, tornadoes or the rainy and flood season, the Department of Education and Training has just issued a document requesting education departments and schools in the area to develop plans and promptly implement measures to prevent drowning for children and students during the summer of 2015.

In particular, schools need to prepare conditions to organize swimming classes in many forms (mainstream or extracurricular); encourage and create conditions for students to actively participate in swimming classes at sports and fitness centers, replicate the "safe school" model... In addition, schools must regularly remind and advise students not to bathe or swim in places where water sources are not safe, hygienic, rivers, streams, waterfalls and rapids are dangerous.

In addition, promote propaganda and dissemination of drowning prevention measures on school and residential media. Coordinate with local authorities to strengthen inspection and supervision of the implementation of regulations on drowning prevention at swimming pools and areas prone to drowning for children and students, especially preschool and primary school students.

Previously, Nghe An was one of 10 provinces selected by the Ministry of Education and Training to implement drowning prevention and pilot swimming teaching in primary schools in the period 2010 - 2015. However, the implementation of this model encountered many difficulties and was mostly theoretical.
