The following is our members explanation
of the situation in Pa.an district during his last cycle from September-December
2002:
I visited 17 schools during this period. The curriculum used in these
schools was partly SPDC curriculum, partly the KNU curriculum and partly
the curriuclum used in the refugee camps. While some schools were doing
ok, many had fled and were in the jungle. The major problems are that
there is no materials, the community has no food and poor health adn that
the school often has to close when the SPDC attack. School attendance
is low for these reasons. Also there is a lack of teachers in this district.
The SPDC are located everywhere
in this district and it is difficult to predict where they will do their
activities. They can proceed onto a village day or night, you are always
in danger and in fear. The village elders have to provide food, money
and services to the SPDC soldiers. I was unable to meet with village leaders
during this period bec ause they had all been called to work for the SPDC
soldiers.Click
