Overview
- Schools in Chupaca reopened classrooms using 20 modular dome units so roughly 400 primary and secondary students could restart lessons on August 10.
- The temporary domes were installed by the Ministry of Education under presidential direction to replace school spaces damaged by the seismic sequence that began on July 18.
- Students received psychosocial support during the first hours of class and were given backpacks, notebooks and uniforms through the Abraza tu Cole program with private aid from Romax.
- Local education officials and the regional education office are carrying out repeated field inspections after aftershocks, and they warn the count of affected institutions may rise as engineering assessments are completed.
- Delivery limits and installation logistics mean some schools are using alternative prefabricated spaces such as the Estadio La Perla while authorities wait for additional domes and technical reports to guide full repairs.
