巴拿马震后772所学校分批复课：教师10月20日返校，四省重灾区继续停课
巴拿马城——巴拿马教育部（Meduca）宣布，10月9日强震之后，全国772所学校自本周起分批复课：行政人员已于10月19日返岗，教师于10月20日返校，12个教育区的学生将于10月21日回到课堂。受灾最重的 Coclé、Veraguas、Herrera 与 Los Santos 四省继续停课，何时复课视各校安全评估而定。
教育部基础设施副部长 Marcela Herrera 表示，全国3,112所学校中约80%没有结构性损伤、可以接收学生，其余学校的检查仍在进行。根据国家民防系统（Sinaproc）10月20日通报，震后已记录900多次余震，频率与强度正逐渐下降；当局仍维持46处避难所安置受灾家庭，并持续向22,000多名受灾居民提供援助。
灾情评估同步推进。技术团队已检查9,200多户住房、涉及30,200人，逐户判定房屋可否重新入住、需要维修还是必须重建；800多所学校已完成评估。住房与领土规划部已按2021年抗震规范更新建房图纸，宣布新建住房将采用抗震设计标准。
10月9日的地震震中位于巴拿马南部 Azuero 半岛附近，数百所学校与上千户住房受损，政府此前已宣布全国紧急状态并拨款1亿美元用于救灾与重建。Sinaproc 同时提示，近期强降雨、雷暴天气将持续至10月21日晚间，Panamá Norte 等地已出现零星洪涝与树木倒伏，复课与重建工作需同时防范次生灾害。

Panama Reopens 772 Schools in Phases After Quake: Teachers Return October 20, Classes Still Suspended in Four Hard-Hit Provinces
Panama City — Panama's Ministry of Education (Meduca) announced that 772 schools across the country will resume classes in phases this week following the powerful October 9 earthquake: administrative staff returned on October 19, teachers returned on October 20, and students in 12 education regions return to classrooms on October 21. Classes remain suspended in the hardest-hit provinces of Coclé, Veraguas, Herrera and Los Santos, pending school-by-school safety assessments.
Marcela Herrera, Meduca's vice minister for infrastructure, said about 80 percent of the country's 3,112 schools show no structural damage and can receive students, while inspections of the remaining campuses continue. The National Civil Protection System (Sinaproc) reported on October 20 that more than 900 aftershocks have been recorded, decreasing in frequency and intensity, and that 46 shelters remain open for displaced families, with assistance continuing for more than 22,000 affected residents.
Damage assessments are advancing in parallel. Technical teams have inspected more than 9,200 homes covering some 30,200 people, classifying each property as safe to reoccupy, in need of repair, or requiring reconstruction, and more than 800 schools have been evaluated. The housing ministry has updated construction plans to the 2021 seismic code and announced that new homes will be built to earthquake-resistant standards.
The October 9 quake, centered near the Azuero Peninsula in southern Panama, damaged hundreds of schools and more than a thousand homes; the government previously declared a national state of emergency and authorized $100 million for relief and reconstruction. Sinaproc also warned that heavy rain and thunderstorms through the night of October 21 have already caused isolated flooding and fallen trees in areas including Panamá Norte, requiring recovery work to guard against secondary hazards.
