Officials said that the project, which spans all of the school districts, involves the participation of teachers and fire units as well as volunteers from affected communities.
In a release to the press, he stated that he was confident of getting the majority affected schools back in session on Wednesday.
The minister said that all schools in school districts are being cleaned and conditioned.
