Fleeing by landslides

From the capital of Tra Bong district to the end of the Eo Chim pass, it was sunny. However, when I got to school in Tra Khuong Village from Tra Lam Primary School, Tra Bong District (Quang Ngai), it was pouring rain. From the Popular Committee of the Tra Lam commune to this school, it is about 4-5 km, but this year’s “specialized” forest is a series of landslides. Our companions do not speak, their eyes look towards the mountain, as if to prevent the landslide from happening at any moment.

That day it was raining heavily, we climbed the cement slope to reach the Tra Khuong school. The school is on the edge of the abyss. The roof of the school was washed away by storm number 9. Inside the classrooms, which were locked to the left of the door, were student desks and chairs that were strewn about. Behind the school, the mountain was terribly eroded, carved deep into the wall, chiseled into a wide cave, unrecognizable at first glance.

Climbing above this cave, when we feel it, we panic and move in case of uncertainty. Looking deep, in addition to the muddy trees, there are tiles, bricks and corrugated sheet metal from the school’s roof. Immediately, the rock and soil at the bottom of the cave wall followed the gurgling of rainwater down the cliff. Looking at such wide cracks, landslides, sooner or later this school would collapse into the abyss.

The rain team passed a grocery store in front of the school gate and we saw more than a dozen desks and chairs on the front porch. A resident here said that after flooding and Storm No. 9 destroyed the wall and blew off the school’s roof, accompanied by landslides, the school had to “flee,” temporarily borrowing the porch of the school’s home. Mr. Ho Nhat Huong to study. the student. It was raining too much that day and the school fired the students. Standing in front of the terrace, 4 children who have not arrived home on time tremble before the rain of the forest that falls, the wind blows in each game.

The afternoon sun quickly collapsed, the rain grew stronger, the commune police hastily brought us here, urged us to leave immediately, fearing a landslide that we could not foresee. Mr. Truong Cong Lam, Chairman of the Tra Lam Commune People’s Committee, said that Tra Khuong School was the most difficult place here. Previously, this school site was supported by donors from Ho Chi Minh City to build (with a budget of around 550 million VND) and put it into teaching from the 2019-2020 school year. Happy smile for children in the cold mountains This search did not stop in time, storm No. 9 has expelled teachers and students from the school. 60 students returned to “live food” life in the home of local people. After a while, Mr. Lam sighed, saying that he did not know if this school could be repaired, because the landslides were becoming more and more entrenched in the wall.

A few days later, when contacting journalists YouthMr. Vo Van Lan, Tra Bong District Party Committee Secretary, announced: It is impossible to repair this school because the landslide has reached the wall. In the short term, dozens of students have to temporarily study in local homes and then find ways to restore teaching and learning here.

A landslide sank deep into the wall of the Tra Khuong school site

End of study on the porch of the room.

Following Provincial Highway 622, in a distance of more than 30 km, we go from Tra Lam commune to Tra Phong commune. Along this route, after the storm for a month, there are still dozens of landslides. Following the path of scratched and eroded plastic, we headed for rare schools.

The school site in Tra Bung Village, Tra Phong Commune, is located on a gentle hill and consists of 4 classrooms and a library. Teacher Nguyen Dinh Quan led us to open the room strewn with fallen trees, school furniture, electric bulbs, school supplies … The floor was still damp and the ceiling full of pests.

Teacher Quan said that after storm number 9, the trees collapsed outside, causing the roof to collapse, inside the water flooded more than their ankles, the teachers had to meet for a few days to clean and pick up the students for study. After cleaning, the teacher sent the students to study, well, when it rained, the ceiling collapsed from top to bottom of the room. Climb up on the roof to examine, Tra Bung’s school teacher found that the corrugated iron roof, the straps were rotten, can fall off at any time, so he hastily brought all the students to the eaves to study. Study on the porch, every time it rains the water will flow oh well. So the school had to divide the library into first graders, while students from other classes put up two classrooms that were delighted. However, these two rooms were built in 2001, so when it rains, it will be completely absorbed, flowing through the desks and chairs of the students who are studying. “It rained for a few days, one classroom couldn’t learn because it leaked too much, all the students got wet, they had to set up a table to take them to the porch. I’m really sorry, but I don’t know how, “Mr. Quan said sadly.

On the day of the inspection of highland schools in Tra Phong Commune, Ms. Dinh Thi Thu Huong, Head of Tra Bong Education and Training Department, kept walking through all these classrooms and shook her head, loving to the teachers. teaching while looking at the ceiling; and then worrying about the students for possible setbacks at any moment, because all three classrooms here are about to collapse. The teachers and students were restless and feared that the school would collapse.

Following the teachers, we went to Tra Phong 2 Secondary School, near the Tra Bung Primary School point. This school did not leak, but behind the school there was a slope line and a solid concrete anti-skid system, which was washed away by floodwaters, the cement crushed into pieces and laid on the rocks of the mountains. slide down. Fortunately, from the landslide point a hundred meters from the school wall, no classrooms were buried. However, the rain continues to creep in, the soil and rocks washed away by the flood will directly affect Tra Phong 2 High School.

Ms. Dinh Thi Thu Huong said that almost all schools in the Tra Bong Highlands were also affected by Typhoon 9 and prolonged flooding. If the roof is not blown off, the school roof will leak, slide and disrupt teaching and learning. For example, in Tra Bao Village Kindergarten, Tra Phong Commune, the room fell from the ceiling, hundreds of students had to move to a nearby cultural house to study. There are up to 6 kindergartens that share the same situation.

“It takes billions of money to repair these highland classrooms, but the poor district does not have enough money to repair them. Currently, the locality makes use of the town’s cultural house, borrows people’s houses, organizes turn-based study, use the computer room, computer, library, equipment room to teach, try to overcome difficulties to ensure that the teaching program runs as scheduled, ”Ms. Huong said.
