The findings will be communicated to the authorities so that they can take action.
The Comptroller General of the Republic visited six state schools in the province of Trujillo, in order to verify the damage caused by the rains and mudslides reported since last Friday night, as a result of the transit of Cyclone Yaku along the coast of the region. The evidence will be communicated to the competent authorities so that they execute the corresponding actions.
The educational institutions (IE) of the three levels of regular basic education visited by the auditors were No. 113 “Tesorito de Jesús” located in the Miramar town center of the Moche district; 112 and 80818 “Jorge Basadre Grohmann” located in the towns of El Porvenir and Florencia de Mora in the district of Florencia de Mora; as well as San Juan, Gustavo Ries and 80014 Juan Pablo II located in the district of Trujillo.
In the initial level IE “Tesorito de Jesús” and 112 the damages caused by the rains and mudslides are evident in most of their environments and furnishings. Both the rainwater and the mass of mud, stones and others carried away by the mudslides not only ruined educational material, but also weakened the structures of both schools, which now constitute a risk for the children whose return to school was postponed for this March 20.
Meanwhile, in schools 80818 “Jorge Basadre Grohmann”, Gustavo Ries and 80014 Juan Pablo II there is also evidence of some deterioration in floors, ceilings and walls; while in the emblematic “San Juan” boys’ school the damage is greater at the structural level and educational equipment.
It should be noted that the Comptroller General, through the La Libertad Regional Control Management (GRLIB) and its Institutional Control Bodies (OCI) distributed in the 12 provinces of the region, has been deploying its auditors to collect information on the impact caused by Cyclone Yaku, to the detriment of public investment in all sectors.
