“First of all, we must prioritize the safety of all girls, boys and adolescents. If you see a school that has any type of risk for the children, for the teachers, for the community, you must report it, because that school cannot return to classes,” declared the federal Secretary of Education.
This is the second hurricane to impact the port of Acapulco in less than a year. On October 25, 2023, Category 5 Hurricane Otis impacted this municipality and left severe damage.
Before fully recovering, Acapulco suffered the passage of Hurricane John, which made landfall on September 23 of this year as a category three.
748 school buildings in Acapulco damaged by Otis were still being recovered, and which received support through the School is Our program, when they were once again impacted by another tropical cyclone.
Hurricane John left 270,000 victims in Guerrero, half of them in Acapulco; 23 died and classes were suspended, so, before reactivating them, the SEP verifies the situation of the schools.
