SOCIAL: Education • POSSIBLE ISSUES • High drop out rate • Malnutrition: Health Intervention SOCIAL • Poverty SOCIAL, ECONOMIC • Accessibility INFRASTRUCTURE • Adequate quantity; quality needs improvement • Disaster • Classrooms as Evacuation Center • Susceptibility to Earthquake: • Relocate vs. Engineering Intervention
