Facilities and class equipment, computers, projectors, teaching connecting systems, speakers, air-conditioners, light are well installed. Moreover, lecturers and students obey strictly entry-exit controlling and Covid-19 prevention regulations in distancing in class, wearing masks and sanitizing. On this basis, UEH will continue improving and creating best advantages for lecturers and students to assure learning activities on Hybrid Class modality can be conducted productively and most effectively.”

In addition, lecturers and students were excited about the first day back to school. “Today, I am very delighted because more than ⅕ of students in this class coming to study face-to-face, they are completely excited and share their hope to study offline. Most students studying at home inform that they will go back to study offline. In terms of facilities, they are all well-operated, both lecturers and students are quickly adaptable. In terms of safety, everybody conducts health declarations and temperature measurements when arriving, and students are suggested to keep their distance in class, that’s why I feel rather secure.” - Ms. Hoang Thi My Duyen, Lecturer of School of International Business - Marketing shared.

“I consider entering UEH is extremely safe since security guards measure my temperature and control the entry-exit process. Coming back to school to study face-to-face, in my opinion, is so wonderful because we are going to interact with each other after 3 - 4 months of quarantine.” Ho Viet Minh Tri, a K45 Regular Mode student shared.

With a similarly excited emotion, Lien Nhat Nam, a K46 full-time student informed: “I am absolutely enjoying in-person learning and seeing my friends again. I suppose that studying face-to-face inspires me and allows me to interact with my lecturers and friends much better.
