According to Bruno Maes, Director of UNICEF in Haiti, 200,000 children will not be able to return to school as planned this year (October 4 in the Great South https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34683-haiti-back-to-school-set-of-accompanying-measures-planned.html) if a mobilization of support to the country is not strengthened in the coming days deploring "39 million dollars are needed as part of the emergency aid and barely 5 million have been allocated" deploring the fatigue of foreign partners in funding humanitarian aid in Haiti, what one could call donor fatigue... Recall that 176 schools (public and private) completely destroyed (16% of the school park) and 566 schools (public and private) damaged (51%) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-34681-haiti-earthquake-latest-assessment-of-civil-protection.html cannot accommodate students without rehabilitation and consolidation of buildings.
