In the wake of devastating floods caused by the DANA storm, 24 municipalities in Valencia have announced school closures, affecting nearly 40,000 students.

The storm has left many areas inaccessible, with some schools severely damaged or repurposed as shelters.

Efforts are underway to find temporary educational spaces, but transportation remains a significant hurdle as many roads are still blocked and public transport is disrupted.

The regional government is exploring alternative transport routes and temporary school placements to ensure continuity in education.

Meanwhile, NGOs emphasize the urgent need for safe spaces for children to learn and socialize, highlighting the psychological impact of the disaster on young minds.

As communities rally to support affected families, the focus remains on restoring normalcy and ensuring educational access for all students.
