"From October 9 yesterday we eliminated teaching and learning activities in schools for areas affected by the flood and this is valid until the flood recedes," he said in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, quoted from Antara, Thursday, October 13.

Rita menyebutkan, banjir antara lain berdampak pada tiga sekolah menengah vocationuan di wilayah Ketapang, yaitu SMKN 1 Manis Mata, SMKN 1 Jelai Hulu, dan SMKN 1 Tumbang Titi. Kondisi tersebut berdampak pada 533 pelajar.

In addition, the flood affected 155 students of SMKN 1 Dedai in Sintang Regency and 52 students of SMKN 3 Sungai Raya in Kubu Raya Regency.
