Hanoi (VNA) – Students from the first to sixth grades in the 18 suburban districtsand town of Hanoi will return to online learning from February 28, part of localefforts to curb COVID-19 transmission.

The HanoiPeople’s Committee made the decision on February 27 basing on the proposalsubmitted by the Department of Education and Training.

The movewas prompted by a surge in the rising number of new infections in the community,including in educational establishments, the fact that students of these grades are yet to be vaccinatedagainst COVID-19, as well as parents’ concern.

The municipalPeople’s Committee also assigned the district-level administrations to base on theCOVID-19 situation in their localities, proposals by local educationalestablishments, and opinions from students’ parents to flexibly switch betweenin-person and online learning so as to ensure safety for both students andteachers.

Earlier, students from the firstto sixth grades in the 18 suburban districts and town of Hanoi resumed in-personlearning on February 10. Meanwhile, schools remain shut for those in urbandistricts./.
