There are 1,796 students on the first day of school enrollment in Chin State yesterday, May 24, according to the State Education Officer.

"In total, there are 966 students of Primary Schools, 662 students in the Middle Schools and 168 students in the High School in seven townships in Chin State and I think they do not enroll today. The deadline for enrollment is May 31. Thus, it will be changed every day. According to the sending list from Hakha State Education Office, there are 4 students in KG, 4 in First Grade, 4 in Second Grade, 2 in Third Grade, and 11 in Fourth Grade and there are 25 in total in Primary School. There is 1 student in Grade 6 of Middle School and one student each in Grade 9 and 10. Therefore, there are 28 students in total in Hakha. In Falam Township, there are 244 students in Primary School and 168 in Middle School which are Grade 5,6,7 and 8. That is in Falam Township. In other townships, in Tedim, 156 students in Primary School and 42 in Middle School are enrolled and there are no students in High School. In Tonzang Township, 107 students in Primary School, 85 in Middle School, and 13 in High Schools enrolled. We could not know whose children they are because they send the list without the parent names”, a Regional Education Officer in Chin State said.

The total number of teachers in Chin State before the Military Council seized the power was estimated at 13,000, and the number of CDM teachers registered after the coup is about 7,000 on average in the remaining townships except for Kanpet and Mindat Township which the CDM list is not available.

Most of the teachers who joined the CDM in Chin State are from Hakha Township.

The current enrollment list is not from all 9 townships in Chin State, but from 7 townships, excluding Mindat and Kanplet Townships.

 

The situation in these townships is so daunting that people do not dare to enter the township.
