The ‘new normal’ has returned, why are the gates of kindergartens and primary schools in Hanoi still closed?

Up to now, preschool and primary school students in many parts of the country have gone to school directly. Hanoi has passed the “peak of the epidemic”, life “new normal” has returned to normal but preschool children still have to stay at home and primary school students study online.

What is the reason?

Hanoi is the place for students to stay at home with the largest scale and longest time in the country. From the end of April 2021 to now, about 950,000 students in grades 1-6 and 600,000 preschool children (who have not been vaccinated) continue to study online or stay at home.

the first 3 weeks of February, primary school student and 6th graders in the suburbs of Hanoi were allowed to return to school but then had to stop because of the rapid increase in the number of infections.

Up to now, the Departments of Education and Training and preschoolprimary school in Hanoi said that they have not received any information and have not been consulted about sending students of this age back to school.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hau – Head of Education and Training Department of Me Linh district said: “Currently, primary and sixth grade levels in the district are still teaching stably online. When there is a document from their superiors about changing the form of learning, the district Department of Education and Training will quickly direct schools to follow the rules. regulation”.

Ms. Ngoc Lan – a parent with two children studying at two different levels in Hanoi wondered why elementary school students have not been able to return to school until now. She says: “Life has returned to normal. The family has let the children go on trips and go to amusement parks…; The eldest son is currently in grade 7 and has eaten a day-board at school, studying all day like before… I hope the second child, who is in grade 1, can go to school directly because the school year is not long.”

It is not known when the gates of kindergartens and primary schools in Hanoi capital will open to welcome students back to school directly.

During a meeting on COVID-19 prevention and control in Hanoi on March 28, Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Dinh Tien Dung asked the health sector and localities to review the preparation and readiness of the plan. organize rehearsals of vaccination for children under 12 years old, ensuring that there is a protocol to deploy injections as quickly and effectively as those for children 12-17 years old.

The press quoted Mr. Dung as saying that “Must be vaccinated to safely send children to school, if there is a COVID-19 infection, it will be mild and reduce the risk.”

There are only about 2 months left until the end of the school year, if Hanoi waits to have 2 new vaccines for preschool, primary and 6th grade children to go to school, the gates of preschool and elementary school can only be opened. opening for the opening season of next school year.

Is it necessary to wait for the injection? vaccine against COVID-19 New to school?

From an expert perspective, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Tran Dac Phu – Former Director of the Department of Preventive Medicine (Ministry of Health) said that sending children back to school is extremely necessary, especially at preschool age; Do not wait for new vaccinations for children to go to school.

According to Assoc.Prof.Dr. Tran Dac Phu, the fact that children do not go to school for a long time will cause both physical and mental defects when they cannot interact with friends and teachers, thereby affecting their development. long-term development, even causing children to suffer from depression…

“Most children infected with COVID-19 usually have mild symptoms, if comparing the benefits and risks, they need to go to school. Recently, children at home tested positive a lot because we relaxed activities. , the number of infections in the community is high, when adults contract the disease to children. If the school takes good and organized epidemic prevention measures, the risk of infection is unlikely to be higher than at home.” Assoc.Prof.Dr. Tran Dac Phu said.

Thus, the reason “must be vaccinated to safely send children to school” of Hanoi is not rigid when the time of the school year is not much.

Moreover, from April 2021 to now, this class of students in the Capital has not been able to go to class for a day while students in many localities across the country have been to school.
