*TDangerously degraded beams, Nghia Dan students "shiver"study in the bicycle garage.

Studying in garages seriously affects the quality of teaching and learning in schools and also affects the health of teachers and students.

According to Nghe An Newspaper, Long Loc Secondary School (Nghia Dan) is a school that merged from Nghia Long Secondary School and Nghia Loc Secondary School. Although it has been merged for 8 years, the school still maintains 2 campuses. The second campus in Nghia Loc commune has seriously degraded. To ensure the safety of students, the entire row of classrooms has been divided into boundaries and posted a sign "Dangerous area, no access required". Due to lack of classrooms for students, the school had to convert the functional classrooms into classrooms for students. Due to lack of classrooms, the parents and the school had to convert the row of houses that used to be bicycle garages into temporary classrooms for the remaining four classes.

For nearly 3 months studying in temporary classrooms, more than 150 students had to endure many difficulties and harsh weather conditions. This season, because there was no shelter, the rain and wind blew into every classroom. Meanwhile, organizing teaching was also extremely difficult because the classrooms were almost connected; the teacher's lecture would echo to the neighboring classrooms.
