According to a document signed by Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Chu Xuan Dung on Wednesday, the People's Committee agreed in principle on a proposal by the municipal Department of Education and Training dated February 9 on allowing students from grades 1 to 6 in the urban districts to return to school after a long time of online learning to prevent COVID-19.
In principle, face-to-face classes will be organized in areas where the pandemic risk is at levels 1 and 2. Meanwhile, students residing in areas with the pandemic risk at levels 3 and 4 will continue online learning.
Schools are required to meet safety standards for COVID-19 prevention and control in line with directions of the municipal departments of education and training, and health. Teachers who have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as prescribed by the health sector only teach online.
The Steering Committees for COVID-19 Prevention and Control of the districts are responsible for approving plans of educational establishments to welcome students back as well as pandemic prevention and control in their localities.
