In the municipal district Mamá Tingó, of the municipality of Yamasá, province Monte Plata, the community of The Estancia has presented a formal petition to the Ministry of Education requesting urgent intervention in the educational center that bears the same name.
The plant, with a registration of 225 students and extended shift modality from initial level to third of secondary, faces a series of deficiencies that put at risk the physical integrity of students and teachers.
Electrical failure and risk of discharges
The neighbors indicate that an electrical breakdown causes the walls to heat up and transmit discharges, which motivated the suspension of classes for two consecutive days, October 10 and 13, by the parents who fear the safety of their children.
Inadequate infrastructure
The school has fences made of sticks and wires, the main entrance is damaged and barely three classrooms that serve 100 people. The residents request the construction of new classrooms and the replacement of the barriers with cement structures.
Dry trees and other threats
Similarly, the pruning or removal of dry trees located near the building is requested, in the face of the risk that they may fall under strong winds. The community highlights that these risks are aggravated by the lack of maintenance in the infrastructure.
Response from the Ministry of Education
The Ministry has received the demand and it is expected that it will dispose of the necessary measures to guarantee a safe environment and adequate conditions for teaching in The Estancia.
