School children have resumed school in quite a few towns and villages that were hard hit by the deadly earthquake that happened in Morocco over a week ago, according to local media reports.
Lessons had re-commenced on Monday, September 18 in Amizmiz and Asni towns in the High Atlas Mountains and some villages in the Taroudant province situated in the south-west, according to the independent Lakome website.
Meanwhile, the education department in El Haouz province had stated that the local authorities had commissioned up to 150 special tents equipped with teaching provisions and essentials where classes would happen.
The tents set up by the army in Amizmiz were waiting to be installed with mobile education units, the state news agency, MAP, had revealed.
MAP had broadcast what it called “a sense of hopefulness and resoluteness” expressed by teachers and students alike.
Note however, that about 6,000 students had enrolled in schools in the six municipalities particularly affected in El Haouz were being driven to schools in the nearby city of Marrakesh.
