In Taiwan, 81 schools were hit by torrential rains and kindergartens were severely affected

According to Taiwan's "United News Network" reported on June 3, Taipei, New Taipei City and Keelung were hit hard by torrential rains, and according to the statistics of Taiwan's education department yesterday, a total of 81 schools in Taiwan were closed and 70 schools were affected, with a preliminary estimate of NT$9.09 million. The more serious disaster is the kindergarten, and the Taiwan education department analyzed that it may be related to the fact that kindergartens are mostly set up on the first floor and are prone to flooding.

Many parents of students criticized the school for being too slow to respond and deciding to suspend classes too late, and Wu Xiaoxia, the relevant person in charge of the education department, said that schools should be encouraged to observe the terrain more keenly and make judgments at the first time.

In recent years, the climate has been abnormal and natural disasters have been frequent, and Wu Xiaoxia observed that more and more schools no longer wait for local governments to issue orders and voluntarily announce the closure of classes. Yesterday's heavy rain came quickly and heavily, and most schools decided to close classes on their own. She believes that the school's judgment and determination have improved a lot, but there is still room for improvement.

Yesterday, six colleges and universities announced their own suspension of classes. The University of Culture announced the closure of classes at noon yesterday. "It was a difficult day," said Li Tianren, president of the Cultural University, saying that yesterday was the last day of the final exam, and the decision to suspend classes or not must be more cautious.

Li Tianren said that the University itself has an atmospheric department to make assessment standards, but the heavy rain came too quickly, and it did not meet the suspension standards, and the school did not become a disaster. After the students arrived at the school, the school found that the transportation outside the school was difficult, and the class was urgently suspended, and the examination was moved to the next week. At present, it is judged that the rain has moved south, and today's graduation ceremony is held as usual.

Wu Xiaoxia said that according to the latest disaster statistics last night, the most serious disaster at present is the Dapeng National Primary School Kindergarten in New Taipei City, with an estimated damage of more than 2 million.
