Classrooms have been re-opened across Haiti\'s capital for the first time since January\'s earthquake.



Some 4,000 schools were damaged by the 7.0 magnitude quake.



The education ministry itself was also destroyed.



Many schools could not restart because of a lack of repairs or equipment.



Officials said the operation is aimed at getting more than 700,000 students learning again over the next two months.
