Schools in about 17 communities in the Chereponi District of the North East Region remain closed a year after communal clashes led to the loss of lives and destruction properties and educational infrastructure.
The situation is having a negative impact on academic activities in the district. According to the Assemblyman for Tegenga, one of the affected communities, teachers who fled the area during the clashes are yet to return.
He is, therefore, appealing to the government to school infrastructure and teachers available to the area. He said out of about four communities including Tegenga and a total number of about three hundred children who are attending school in the community, there is no teacher since they fled the conflicts.
So, all these children currently do not go to school. In 2018, a renewed land dispute between the Konkombas and Anufors who at the time were fighting over a three-acre land at Naduni, a farming community in the Chereponi district of the Northern Region led to clashes where four persons died and several others injured.
