SUKABUMI - Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds caused the collapse of two classrooms at SDN Tangkil in Tegalpanjang Village, Sukabumi Regency, West Java (West Java).

Public Relations of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Sukabumi Regency, Sandra Fitria, said the damage caused student teaching and learning activities to be hampered.

"Two classrooms with a length of 10 meters and a width of 7 meters in Sidamulya Village, Ciemas District collapsed apart from being influenced by weather factors, which were also caused by weather conditions that were already weathered," he said in Sukabumi, Monday, January 15, which was confiscated by Antara.

Information gathered from the Ciemas District Disaster Management Officer (P2BK) and the classroom school collapsed at around 14.15 WIB, Monday, January 15. Luckily in this incident there were no injuries or fatalities.

Two classrooms were used for KBM class I and II with 60 students. Before collapsing, it had fallen heavily accompanied by strong winds, the condition of the building that was weathered was thought to be unable to withstand the strong gusts of wind. Luckily when the classroom incident was empty.

Data from the school, the last classroom received repairs or renovations 18 years ago or in 2006. After that there were no more renovations so that the class materials dominated by wood finally rotted in time.

Not only that, several other classes that have not received renovations are in danger of collapsing, because several times there have been falling tiles so that KBM has become disturbed by worrying about unwanted things.

Meanwhile, one classroom that has been renovated using light steel whose position is side by side with the collapsed class is still in good condition and safe.

Information from the SDN Tangkil school has 162 students from grades I to VI with the number of teaching staff with the status of the state civil apparatus (ASN) of two, including one of whom is the principal. Meanwhile, there are five non-ASN teachers.
