United Nations, March 30 (IANS)

Fighting in two provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has disrupted the education of some 750,000 children, a UN spokesman said.

Stephane Dujarric, the chief spokesman for UN SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres, said new figures released by Unicef showed that between January 2022 and the present, in the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri, at least 2,100 schools were forced

Dujarric said, "the scale of the crisis means that the majority of children living in displacement camps are not able to have any educational services, only a minority of these children are able to access some Unicefsupported child-friendly spaces or temporary learning centers".

Unicef is supporting the construction of temporary learning spaces and providing school materials to students, in addition to training teachers on relevant topics, including psychosocial support, he said.

Insecurity has been especially damaging for the nearly 240,000 recently displaced children living in the vast camps around Goma, North Kivu's provincial capital, the UN agency said in its report. "Violence by armed groups has forced thousands of families from their homes in search of safety, preventing their children from attending school," it said. The report said 119 schools have been attacked, occupied, or temporarily used by armed groups.

Nearly 1,700 schools closed due to persistent insecurity, mainly because they are in areas controlled by armed groups. However, according to Unicef, direct conflict or insecurity alone did not close schools. Nearly 300 schools couldn't operate because they are being used as shelters for people displaced by conflict.

Deakin University today announced that after an extensive national and international search, Professor Simon Tormey has been appointed Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Education. Professor Tormey will commence at Deakin on 14 August 2023 and succeed Associate Professor Meghan Kelly, who has acted in the role since August 2022. Professor Tormey is currently the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, a position he has held since 2019. Previously he was Head of the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Sydney from 2009 to 2018.

“On behalf of the university community, I look forward to welcoming Professor Tormey to Deakin in August as our new Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Education,” Professor Martin said.

“I look forward to the contribution Professor Tormey will make both as Executive Dean of Arts and Education and as a member of my University Executive.

“As we look to the future, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to Associate Professor Meghan Kelly for her excellent leadership of the faculty as Acting Executive Dean, which will continue until Professor Tormey commences.”
