An interesting link:
http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/25/world/nepa...index.html
and, I.W. sent me the links below, which I am now just glancing at. A major effort was done to retrofit schools, that may have saved a LOT of lives, although the quake was late morning on Saturday, when I don't know whether schools would have been in session.
this link is probably the one to read regarding the retrofitting of schools in Nepal, it is a short report and has photos etc.:
https://www.eeri.org/wp-content/uploads/..._Nepal.pdf
But it seems to have been a large international initiative, judging from the many links. Here are some others.
