Schools relocated due to flooding

JAMBI, Jambi: Jambi schools relocated classes on Thursday at several schools here due to prolonged flooding. In Sijenjang subdistrict, East Jambi district, over 300 students had to study in nearby buildings of Elementary School 180 on Thursday after their school buildings were inundated by water in the past week.

Eprin Eri, the school principal, said that the lessons had to continue despite flooding as the students would face their final exams in the near future. Earlier, Jambi Mayor Arifin Manaf had given the green light for school authorities to suspend classes due to flooding. -- JP
