Schools reopen in Tanintharyi as flood water recedes

Tanintharyi 14 September

All the schools have reopened in Tanintharyi Township, Myeik District in the Taninthayi Region on 13 September as the water level and road and communications have returned to normal, according to the Township Education officer’s Office.

About 19 schools were temporarily closed from August 30 to September 4 as the river burst its banks for the second time and flooded nearby areas.

The Township Education officer’s Office is also arranging substitute classes at these schools, it is learnt.—Nan Thirit-Htein Win, IPRD
