"The floors are broken, all louvers are broken, classroom doors are also broken, and students become very dirty after classes close. When it rains’ students and teachers are well soaked. Students are in constant fear when there is a rainstorm. Classroom furniture is another problem. Because of the rain soaking them most furniture is broken," the script read.
