The Head of the East Java Education Office, Aries Agung Paewai,\nstated that KBM is temporarily conducted in the school laboratory and\nhall until the renovation of the affected classrooms is completed.<\/p>\n
\u201cKBM continues using the available rooms, namely the laboratory and\nhall. We are also inventorying the needs for repairing the affected\nclassrooms,\u201d said Aries in Surabaya on Monday (30\/3).<\/p>\n
The three impacted classes are XI APHP 1, XI APHP 2, and XI APHP 3.\nThe damage is classified as severe because the entire roof collapsed,\nand most desks and chairs were also affected. Aries added that the\nrepairs are being carried out under the instructions of the East Java\nGovernor and are targeted to be completed within the next month.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnder the directive of the Governor, we have been asked to take\nswift action to handle it so that the classrooms can be repaired quickly\nand reused for teaching and learning activities,\u201d said Aries.<\/p>\n
