NASSAU (Reuters) - Bahamian education officials are scrambling to find classroom space for up to 10,000 students displaced by Hurricane Dorian after the Category 5 storm ravaged two of the archipelago’s northern islands, destroying many school buildings.

This week Bahamian officials set up what they called a “one-stop shop” for displaced students ages 4 to 19 inside the Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium in Nassau, the island-nation’s capital city.
