JAKARTA - The Makassar City Education Office checks the condition of the school to ensure the building is safe in case of extreme weather conditions.

From the results of the inspection, said Head of the Makassar City Education Office, Muhyiddin, the condition of the school building in the Makassar area is still feasible.

"God willing, it will still be good. Although there are still minor, but appropriate damage. However, we have prepared anticipation so that there will not be a disaster for students," said Muhyiddin in Makassar, Tuesday, October 18.

As part of mitigation measures, the agency asked schools to immediately repatriate students if bad weather conditions lasted for a long time.

"So I asked the school to immediately send all the children home. If the bad weather lasts for a long time, learning from home (online) can be applied," he said.

The South Sulawesi Provincial Education Office has issued circulars to schools in 24 regencies and cities in its area to check the feasibility of school buildings.

Head of the South Sulawesi Provincial Education Office, Setiawan Aswad, said that inspections needed to be carried out to ensure the condition of the school building was safe when extreme weather conditions occurred.

School managers are asked not to carry out activities in school buildings that are deemed inappropriate or prone to damage in order to minimize disaster risk due to extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain and strong winds.
