Huu Lung High School: Overcoming difficulties in studying for high school graduation exams in the heart of the epidemic

– In the past time, teachers and students of Huu Lung High School, Huu Lung district have overcome difficulties, flexibly organizing review even when many teachers and students of the school are under medical quarantine to ensure the best results in the upcoming exam.

Compared to other high schools in the province, Huu Lung High School has been heavily affected by the Covid-19 outbreak with one student of F0 case, 87 teachers and hundreds of students of F1, F2 cases. In particular, grade 12 alone has 61 teachers and 51 students who are in concentrated medical quarantine and self-quarantine at home. Therefore, the preparation of this year’s national high school graduation exam for the school’s teachers and senior students has become more and more difficult. Currently, the school’s teachers and students in grade 12 have to teach, study and review at home or in quarantine areas.

As one of the seven teachers in the school who are F1 cases, they are required to be under concentrated quarantine because they have close contact with the student of Covid-19 case, Ms. Nong Thi Tan Uyen, teacher of Huu Lung High School (reviewing Literature of class 12) said that she is an F1 case having to be under concentrated quarantine, so teaching and reviewing for students is implemented right in the quarantine area. In order not to affect the teaching and review, she regularly prepares lessons and finds interesting literature topics for each week through online teaching methods to share and guide students how to take Literature exam. Although they can only see each other through the computer screen, she and her students make great efforts to teach and review to get the best exam results.
