Heavy rainfall that pounded the central region for several days has caused roughly three billion won worth of damages to schools and education-related government agencies.

The Ministry of Education said that as of midnight Friday, 114 educational institutions suffered damage amid the torrential rains and resulting floods. Forty-five schools were flooded and 29 had physical damage to their facilities including collapsed walls. Another 40 buildings suffered leaks.

Repairs have begun at many of the schools but most have only seen temporary measures.

The ministry says it will offer financial support to the schools as soon as possible.
