The
walls
are
tumbling
down
In
classrooms
all
over
the
province
Its
not
because
of
the
tight
money
situation
It
s
a
new
method
of
building
schools
called
open
area
Open
area
school
construction
pioneered
in
California
about
10
years
ago
is
now
in
operation

The

Flexible

The
benefit
of
the
new
system
sa
school
authorities
and
their

is
flexibility
rchitecturally
they
are
not

The
biggest
advantage
is
the
availability
of
all
of
the
resources
teachers
and
materials
to
allof
the
kids
all
of
the
time
The
first

Teachers
