With the aims to create an uneducated society following the loss of children’s rights to education as well as to support them by making people very frightened, the NUG and their subordinates so-called PDF terrorists, which the Government has declared as terrorist organizations, are conducting various kinds of destructive activities across the country such as intimidation and coercion against students, teachers and parents; abductions and killings of students, teachers and parents; arson and bombing attacks on schools. In addition to the acts aforesaid, so-called PDF terrorists, with destructive emotions, are making acts of vandalism against the government’s efforts on education sector development such as putting textbooks and teaching/learning aids to the torch; and taking those forcibly.
Since they are conducting such terrorist acts, on 20 July, so-called PDF terrorists forcibly abducted a total of seven people including the female principal of the State Agricultural Institute (Dawei) located in Sakhangyi Village of Lounglon Township in Tanintharyi Region, her 11-year-old son and five other teachers, it is reported.
