With the back-to-school season approaching during the ongoing Covid-19 wave, schools in Nha Trang City have to make some adjustments in preparation, especially for the enrolment for a new school year.
Both parents and schools are anxious
Nguyen Thi Minh Thu, Phuoc Hai Ward says so she is so anxious as her child is going to enter the first grade. Nha Trang is under Covid-19 social isolation, so she cannot go out to buy books, notebooks and pens to prepare for her study. Parents used to prepare a lot of things for children to start a new grade but until now, they have not done anything about it because of the stay-at-home order.

“There is a growing concern about classroom repair, enrolment and teaching staff’s professional development as well before the start of a new school year.
