The ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas in California, now in their 11th day, have significantly disrupted the education system.
Superintendent Alberto Carvalho of the Los Angeles Unified School District revealed that several schools have been completely destroyed or severely damaged by the fires.
Carvalho stated that rebuilding the affected schools could take two or more years, prolonging the disruption of educational activities.
To mitigate the impact, students from damaged schools have been temporarily relocated to other schools to ensure the continuity of their education.
The Pasadena Unified School District has decided to keep all its schools closed this week, instead shifting to online learning platforms.
Many schools have paused traditional educational activities, focusing instead on recovery efforts and fostering a sense of community during these challenging times.
The wildfires have not only affected the educational environment but have also posed significant challenges for students, teachers, and school staff, testing their resilience and adaptability.
