Efforts Underway to Re–open 247 Schools
The United Nations Children’s
Fund (UNICEF), World Coalition for Education, the Ministry of Education and
other NGOs are stepping up measures to re–open 247 schools in areas seriously
affected by the conflict in the country. 30 of the schools are in the capital
Bangui, a UN report disclosed last Monday. The report states that more than two
million children in the Central African Republic are affected by violence. School
buildings were reportedly looted and also used for other purposes, particularly
military, the report said. By the end of the last school year, 60 percent of
the schools were closed.
