02:30were suspended after rain brought more floods early Monday.

02:38but some textbooks and other materials had to be dried following the flooding.

02:42Still, Angara says the school opening was so far so good.

02:46The Education Department postponed the opening of the academic year 2024-2025 in at least

02:52979 schools due to severe flooding last week.
