Is the mosque's adhan sufficient for the school's congregation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh Abu Rayyan, we are in a secondary school, and the mosque for our neighborhood is about two hundred meters away from us. We pray inside the school in the prayer hall located in the schoolyard. The question is: do we call the adhan for the prayer, or is it sufficient to rely on the adhan of the mosque, which we may not hear because of the size of the school?

Answer:
If, when you leave the mosque, there is a disruption among the students and they scatter, and you want to keep them in order by praying in the school, there is nothing wrong with that. The adhan of the mosques around you is sufficient. And if you call the adhan, there is nothing wrong with that, but it should not be at a loud volume resembling that of the mosques. Yes.
