20,000 displaced students inside the Kilinochchi Educational Zone
The Director of Kilinochchi Education Zone said that there are 20,000 IDP students who have displaced to inside the Kilinochchi Education Zone and that his department is facing a crisis to arrange for the education of these students.
The students have come into the Kilinochchi Education Zone from Madhu, Thunukkai, and Vavuniya North Education Zones. In addition students even within the Kilinochchi Education Zone have displaced from Poonahari and Karachchi divisions. School third term starts on 4 September, these students have not been provided with alternate facilities to continue their education. Students have been asked to report to a school near their living places. However, class rooms, furniture, drinking water and toilets will become the most problematic resources in providing for the education of the IDP students said the Director. In the meantime, Akkayaran Maha Vidhyalayam in Kilinochchi sustained damages after being hit by artillery shells fired by the SLA. Roof tiles, windows, and furniture were damaged by the shelling. People had already displaced two weeks ago from Akkarayan following shelling that injured many civilians.
