Off-campus study near the floodway during a heavy rain flood warning Elementary school apologizes Hiroshima 17th July 17:50
It turned out that the elementary school in the city conducted an out-of-school study near the Ota River floodway while receiving a heavy rain flood warning in Hiroshima City on the 14th of this month and received guidance from the city's board of education. .. The school apologized to children and parents for improper instruction.
The instruction from the Hiroshima City Board of Education was at Nagatsuka Elementary School in Asaminami Ward, Hiroshima City. While a heavy rain and flood warning was issued to Hiroshima City on the 14th of this month, four teachers had about 80 children in 5th grade. It means that we conducted an out-of-school study in which we led a person and visited the pumping station through the bank of the Ota River tailrace.
According to the school, it was said that it had stopped raining at that time, but it means that the area near the Ota River discharge channel was above the flood caution level until 11:30 am, just before the off-campus study.
It is said that the city's Board of Education received the anonymous contact and provided guidance to the school.
The Hiroshima City Board of Education said, "Putting children closer to the river when there is a warning of heavy rain or flood is contrary to everyday disaster prevention education. I would like to give thorough guidance to the principals." Talking
Go Fukuhara, the principal of Nagatsuka Elementary School, said, “We decided that it was safe because the water level had dropped due to rain, but parents were worried about it and it was an inappropriate decision. I would like to give guidance."
