HANOI: About 23 million Vietnamese students have started a new school year, most of them in virtual classrooms, amid a Covid-19 lockdown to contain a virus surge in the country.
Since April, when the latest wave of the virus spread in the country, Vietnam closed down schools and education institutes in pandemic areas and move learning activities to online platforms.
