Kassab pre-school teachers missing salaries and curriculum materials

The pre-school centers in Kassab internally displaced persons camp in North Darfur are facing difficulties regarding the curriculum and supply of staff.

Sources said there are 25 teachers working at these centers. Their salaries have not been paid for months.

They said the state has abandoned its responsibility to support these centers and teachers, following the expulsion of international organizations that provided some pre-school education services.

One of the most pressing problems is the lack of teaching aids and full curriculum.

Sources said curriculum materials that teach children the basic principles of numbers and letters are largely missing.

They said teachers have also not received their salaries for over four months, and continue to volunteer. There were 58 teachers working at the centers but the number decreased to 25 as the government decided to stop those that did not have a certificate in teaching.
