School year begins, Ha Tinh students stay homeNearly 1,000 students of kindergarten, primary and secondary school have not yet begun attending classes in coastal central Ha Tinh Province, although schools officially reopened yesterday nation-wide. Children play in front of their houses instead of attending to schools in Ha Tinh Province. Ha Tinh is one of the four localities severely affected by the sea-environment pollution caused by Taiwanese company Hung Nghiep Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation. Tran Minh Duc, principal of Ky Ha Primary School, said only 132 of 694 students were going to the school, so far. The compensation is to be distributed among fishermen in the four localities of Quang Tri, Quang Binh, Ha Tinh and Thua Thien Hue this month.
