(ĐN)- More than 77 thousands of high-school students and regular education centres across Dong Nai returned to school on March 2 after a long break due to fears of the Covid-19 outbreak.  

Meanwhile, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools in the province will start receiving students on March 16.

Earlier, the schools worked closely with the local medical centres to disinfect their premises and equipment. They will also not hold large-gathering events. The flag-raising ceremony is carried out in class.

The education sector have been under great pressure for the last week to reopen schools as all 16 patients infected with the Covid-19 virus in Viet Nam have fully recovered with the last discharged from hospital. No new cases have been reported for the last 18 days.

The Ministry of Education adjusted the school year term for 2019-2020 after schools nationwide were forced to close amid the COVID-19 outbreak in Viet Nam.

Accordingly, the school year is set to end by June 30, with high school enrolment done by August 15. The most important examination of the year – the national high school graduation test, the results of which will determine if one can enter a university – will take place between July 23 and 26.
