Parents and teachers in Yida camp in northern Unity State told Radio Tamazuj that the education situation has deteriorated for their children, among fears of a growing phenomenon of homelessness among the children. Najda Romi, a social worker in Yida camp, said that children there are suffering from the absence of a competent authority to provide an education policy and a suitable curriculum. She said that the social welfare office has repeatedly addressed the issue to UNICEF but received no response. \u201cWe are faced with a lot of challenges like lack of educational aids like textbooks, plastics sheets, and a kindergarten curriculum,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are willing to use English as a mean of instruction in kindergarten classes,\u201d Romi added. But the social worker pointed to a new plan to create a children\u2019s cultural centre at the camp for child development. The UN does not designate Yida as an official camp but rather a \u2018temporary settlement\u2019 because it is too close to the border with Sudan. Reportedly, no organization has contributed substantially to any of the schools in the camp, with the exception of Samaritan\u2019s Purse which more than a year ago gave some chalk boards. The UN has said, though, that it is prepared to support schools in new camps to be established farther from the border.
