A number of Darfuri pupils from Gaga camp for Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad, are facing the risk of not being able to continue their secondary education, Radio Dabanga has learned.<\/P>
\n

The pupils sat for their primary school examinations in July of this year, for the first time since the opening of the camp in 2003 to 2004.<\/P>
\n

Abubakr Mahmoud, head of educational services in Gaga camp, told Radio Dabanga last week that Refugees Education Trust (RET), the organization supervising secondary education in the camp, announced it can only accommodate pupils previously supervised by the organization due to a budget deficit.<\/P>
\n

A total number of 101 pupils sat for the primary school examinations in the six schools based in the camp this year, supervised by another organization. These pupils face the risk of not being able to continue their secondary education, even if they pass their exams, Mahmoud told Radio Dabanga.<\/P>
\n

The pupils are not allowed to enroll in Chadian secondary schools, leaving them with the secondary schools in the camp as their only option to continue their education.<\/P>
\n

He appealed to the United Nations and other humanitarian organizations to intervene and prevent the implementation of this decision, he told Radio Dabanga from Gaga camp.<\/P>
