The Sudanese refugees of camp Abu Nabaq in eastern Chad have demanded the return of the Adult Education Administration programme to the camp, where the teachers continue to work, in spite of not being paid since January.<\/p>\n

The adult education programme was reportedly officially suspended three months ago by the Grace Organisation, which is in charge of education at the camp. They also stopped paying teachers\u2019 salaries in January.<\/p>\n

Fatima Fadel, an adult education teacher at Abu Nabaq camp explained to Radio Dabanga that the 16 adult education teachers at the camp have not received their salaries since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n

Fadel says that when they inquired about the matter from the Grace Organisation, they were told \u201cthe organisation concerned has halted the work of the department of adult education since January\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was done without notifying the camp’s teachers about the decision,\u201d says Fadel, who adds that in spite of the lack of payment, the teachers continue the perform of their work in the camp so far, but she called on the organization to reconsider stopping the adult education programme and to pay the teachers\u2019 salaries.”<\/p>\n
