Classes Halted in Kabambare as Teachers Relocate to Kasongo for Identification

Kabambare territory faces a severe educational crisis as teachers abandon classrooms for a banking identification process in neighboring Kasongo. Territorial Administrator Albert Walubangi Katuta has sounded the alarm, decrying the paralysis of school activities for five days. This mass exodus of educators, sanctioned by provincial and sub-provincial education authorities, has left thousands of students without schooling for over a month, a situation described as illicit and deeply concerning.

The administrator criticizes the organization of this operation, arguing that the identification should have been conducted itinerantly, territory by territory. Instead, banking teams refuse to travel to Kabambare's administrative center, forcing teachers to undertake lengthy journeys. "Imagine, from March 25 until the moment I am speaking to you, not a single school has opened its doors. This is a worry for us because it penalizes the students, the parents, and the teachers themselves," stated Walubangi Katuta.

This disruption to education is unacceptable. The territorial administration is calling for urgent intervention from higher authorities to compel the Equity BCDC teams to come to Kabambare. Local authorities assure that all necessary arrangements are in place to welcome the bank agents, facilitating a swift return of teachers to their schools. The future of thousands of students hangs in the balance, and immediate action is required to restore normalcy to the educational sector in Kabambare.
