The closures began on 3 February and will last until 29 March.

Twelve graders across the country are facing pressure to catch up with their studies ahead of summer graduation exams which are scheduled for August this year.

The municipal Department of Education and Training has asked all schools in the city to use software of such telecom firms as Viettel, VNPT, and FPT to promote their online teaching during coronavirus school closures.
