Maw
Khee, like Maw Poe Klo, is in what is called the Special Area
of Karen State. This is because there is an agreement between
the Burmese Army (SPDC), the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army
(DKBA) and the Karen National Union (KNU) to jointly run the
area. However, it is only the KNU, through our resourcing, that
funds the school.
As with The Epiphany Trust’s other schools
in insecure areas, our partners, the Karen Education Department
(KED), cannot visit this school themselves. The District Administrator
ensures that the resources that the KED have bought in Thailand
is transported to the school.
Child Action International funds all the educational
resources required for the school to operate, as well as also
providing medicines for the students when they are required.
The KED is trying to improve the level of teacher
training in this school. Many teachers, especially deeper inside
Burma, have only had themselves a limited education, however,
their enthusiasm ensures that they will pass on all they know
to their students.
