Back To School Tomorrow
As Mid Year School Break
Comes To An End
The 1.300 students of
the school, Escuela
Buenaventura Corrales or
better known as the
"metal school", will be
back to their classrooms
tomorrow as the
reinforcing of the steel
columns was completed on
time for the end of the
mid year school break.
Students across the
country will back to
classes, but none with
emotions of the metal
school, as the school
was announced closed at
the start of the school
break.
Parents, students and
teachers got together
and convinced the
Ministro de Educación
Pública, Leonardo
Garnier, to keep the
school open.
Parents put up ¢4.5
million colones
(us$9.000) from their
own pockets to have the
19 columns reinforced to
allow the school to
remain open.
Next month the
Ministerio de Educación
Pública (MEP) will begin
the bid for the
reconstruction of the
structure after it
finalizes the study of
the building.
