(HBO) - From the beginning of the cold season up to now, many schools in the highland communes of Lac Son District have students leave school to ensure their health during the low temperature days. Along with that, the schools actively take anti-cold solutions to ensure the health of pupils when coming to class. 


The work of anti-cold, keeping pupils warm is always being taken care by the teachers of Ngoc Son Nursery School (Lac Son).

 

Pulling the blankets gently to cover the children, the elite teacher Bui Thi Lon, Head of Ngoc Son Nursery School (Ngoc Son commune) shared: The school has 317 children from 13 months to 72 months. Besides the main school campus, the school has three separate campuses in remote villages. Due to the high altitude of mountainous areas, in the cold season, the temperature in Ngoc Son is often low, with fog and cold, especially in the early morning. Prior to that situation, the school has made official directives of the Department, District Education and Training Board on the prevention of the cold for pupils. Accordingly, when the temperature falls below 10 degrees Celsius, the school will inform the student to stay at home. When the weather changes, the temperature is low, the school propagates for parents to ensure full of warm clothes, towels, socks when taking or picking up the children for not letting them be cold. As a result, in recent cold periods, school pupils' health is assured. The attendance rate in the cold days was 98%, and in the extremely cold days remained at over 60%.

Besides the active propaganda for parents to take measures to keep children warm when going to school, to ensure the health of children, in the cold weather, there is dense fog, the school organizes to pick up the children later than usual. Due to the characteristics of children groups are semi-boarding school, in recent time, in addition to the support of parents, the school also saved the regular expenditures and advocated departments, organizations to support for buying mattresses and warm blankets for pupils. Along with that, the school ensures enough warm water for children to drink and sanitize the body. Their education also limits the outdoor activities to keep their health.

Mr. Bui Van Danh, Head of the Education and Training Board of Lac Son District, said: Currently, in the district, there are 78 schools with more than 1,000 classrooms and over 200 campuses, of which 30 are preschools. The total number of pupils in the whole district is over 31,000. It is worth saying that more than half of the mountainous communes have difficulties in the economic conditions, terrain and transport roads. Whenever the weather is cold, these communes have lower temperature than those communes in the lower areas. Therefore, when the temperature is low, pupils in mountainous communes are directly affected. In the recent cold periods, many schools in highland communes such as Ngoc Son, Ngoc Lau, Tu Do, Mien Doi had to base on the actual conditions to let pupils leave school.

In addition, mountainous localities of which socio-economic conditions are still very difficult, many pupils come to school wearing thin clothes, not enough warm, therefore, in the program of supporting warm clothes, the District Education and Training Board has introduced these localities for warmth support for the children. In parallel with that, the Board has advised the District People's Committee to arrange funding sources to repair and upgrade the system of material facilities in the school for safety. Accordingly, in 2017, the District People's Committee invested 40 billion dongs to upgrade hundreds of classrooms. Up to now, many classrooms have been equipped with windshields, electric and light systems for pupils to study during the cold weather.
