| UN: Most schools ravaged in Myanmar's cyclone zone |
| from Associated Press/AP Online |
| BANGKOK, Thailand - Children in Myanmar may be forced to attend school in relief camps and tents because 85 percent of the educational buildings have been destroyed or damaged in a cyclone-ravaged region, the U.N. said Wednesday. With the school year slated to begin June 1, UNICEF said there is no time to rebuild the estimated 2,700 severely damaged primary schools used by 350,000 students or to replace the unknown numbers of teachers killed or missing following the storm. Instead, the focus is on training volunteer teachers, providing as many as 300,000 school kits for affected students and setting up schools in temporary locations as soon as possible using tarps, tents and even bamboo. |

And then, mirabile dictu, we would hand them back, usually well recovered from whatever it was, on Sunday evening. |
