Overview
- A rear section of a classroom gave way on Oct. 15, killing dozens of pupils and a female teacher when the upper-floor structure collapsed during class.
- The Capital Metropolitan Government inquiry found the building was built in 2011 as a house, later used as a private school, and that its approved plan is missing from official records.
- Inspectors described the first-floor roof as a temporary structure of wooden planks topped with bricks that could not bear the combined weight of students and classroom furniture.
- The report notes that the planning control inspector did not flag the building because its exterior showed no obvious danger, and it was forwarded to the provincial government and governor for follow-up.
- The findings have intensified calls for province-wide safety audits, clearer enforcement by the Private Schools Regulatory Authority, and legal or administrative action to hold operators and officials to account.
