Students in grade 9 at Tan Hoi Secondary School in Dan Phuong district, Hanoi attend in-person class.   

NDO – The Hanoi municipal People’s Committee has approved the proposal of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training to allow senior high-school students to return to school from December 6.

Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 in all 30 districts in the capital city will come back to school next week while students from first to eighth grades will continue to learn online.

Students in grade 9 in 18 suburban districts continue to learn directly while in other districts will learn online.

Meanwhile, pre-school children continue to stay at home.

The Hanoi People's Committee requires schools to ensure safety against the COVID-19 pandemic during in-person learning. Schools are allowed to teach only half a day without providing lunch for students.

School canteens will be closed while students are requested to bring their own water bottles to school.

Only teachers who have received two doses of COVID-19 vaccine can teach directly while others will teach online.
