NZ Earthquake affects English Language Academy
|
AS many of you have heard, Australian neighbour NZ was hit with a 6.3 aftershock earthquake causing death and destruction in and around Christchurch.
Tragically, an English Academy was also affected with this being reported:
The school, King�s Education, occupied the third floor, which meant students, teachers and administrative staff had almost no chance of survival when the building crumbled and burned after Tuesday�s quake. At least 44 students and nine staff are presumed to have died, and a further 34 students remained unaccounted for.
It�s a sad sad time for everyone in NZ. |

As a New Zealander who is a language teacher I can really put myself in the shoes of these poor people. Imagine sending your loved one off for a �chance of a lifetime � to learn English and they never come home again. It happened to a Columbian student of mine who was killed on the road while studying here on the Gold Coast, so I understand.
On another track this dreadful event will have a huge impact on the language industry downunder as NZ and Australia will be seen as "unsafe". This happened after the unfortunate death of a student in Melbourne.
What is happening to the world at the moment? |
