#Tigray Education Bureau Warns of School Closures Amid Funding Crisis
----
Mekelle, March 9, 2026 (Tigray Mass Media Agency) Tigray Bureau of Education warns that a severe funding crisis is threatening the fragile recovery of Tigray’s education system and could lead to widespread school closures.

In a letter addressed to partners including National Education Cluster, Tigray Education Cluster, the FDRE Ministry of Education, Ethiopia Disaster Risk Management Commission, and Tigray Disaster Risk Management Commission, the bureau of education in Tigray says the federal government withholds Tigray’s constitutionally allocated budget subsidy since October 2025, leaving Tigray unable to regularly pay teachers’ salaries.

The bureau states that the situation compounds an existing backlog of about 16 months of unpaid wages, pushing educators and their families into severe hardship and increasing the risk of disruptions to schooling.

According to the bureau, Tigray’s education sector already suffers extensive damage during the 2020–2022 war, which leads to school closures lasting more than three and a half years, destruction of infrastructure, loss of teaching personnel, and significant learning gaps among students.

Although some recovery takes place through support from international partners and the Tigrayan diaspora such as partial reconstruction of schools, provision of learning materials, and teacher retraining, the bureau warns that the progress now faces the risk of reversal.

The bureau stresses that the withholding of funds undermines children’s right to education under international frameworks such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 on quality education.

In its appeal, the bureau calls on international partners to advocate for the immediate release of Tigray’s allocated federal budget and to provide emergency financial support to cover teacher salaries, school operations, and essential learning resources.

The bureau notes that such support helps prevent immediate school closures and sustains educational continuity for millions of children in the Tigray.

A child belongs in school.
A farmer belongs on his land.
An elder belongs in the community they helped build.The people of Tigray are not asking for charity.They are asking for their rights.

Happy Father’s Day to all wonderful fathers — and to the TDF fathers whose lives were taken while protecting the people of Tigray. Today, our hearts ache for you. You were fathers who should have been celebrating with your children, yet you chose to stand between danger and your people. Your love was bigger than fear, your courage stronger than death.We carry your names in our chests. We feel your absence in every home, every empty chair, every child who still waits for a father who will never walk through the door again. But we also carry your light — the light of men who loved their people so fiercely that they gave everything.Your sacrifice is not forgotten. Your memory is not silent. Your legacy lives in us forever.

Refugee Day Call: Return Tigrayan Refugees from Sudan

Over 60,000 people have fled the genocide in #Tigray to seek refuge in neighboring #Sudan. Some of them have become refugees for the second time in less than 30 years. On World Refugee Day, we demand their swift repatriation.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

We live in dangerous times, with conflict, insecurity and division in many parts of our world. But health can be a bridge to peace.

The @UNPeacebuilding Fund enables us to work with governments, health workers, and communities to design solutions that are rooted in local realities, through national ownership, inclusion, and partnership.

Happy 20th birthday to the Fund! Thank you for your leadership and your commitment to a healthier, more peaceful world.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

A new study from England, #UK, has recorded zero deaths from #CervicalCancer among young women who were vaccinated against #HPV as girls.

Since @WHO made the call to action in May 2018, countries across the world are rolling out the WHO Global Strategy to Eliminate Cervical Cancer — by scaling up vaccination, screening and treatment.

And today, 165 countries have now introduced this lifesaving vaccine.

In fact, a single dose of the vaccine is now proving to be protective towards almost zero risk of cervical cancer.

When science, political commitment and dedicated health workers join forces, #HealthForAll becomes a reality.

Rwanda’s 🇷🇼 President Paul Kagame has urged African countries to reduce aviation taxes, fees, and travel barriers, saying that high costs and restrictive rules are limiting the continent’s economic growth.

Addressing the African Air Transport Convention in Togo, he noted that expensive flights are constraining trade, tourism, and business development.

Kagame further called for quicker rollout of the Single African Air Transport Market and smoother movement of people and goods, reinforcing his ongoing advocacy for improved regional integration across Africa.

How a Simple Pair of Glasses Opened New Doors in #Ethiopia

In a remarkable demonstration of humanitarian service and community solidarity, the #Indian Women Association Ethiopia (#IWAE) has successfully completed an eyeglasses donation initiative that is transforming lives by restoring clear vision to hundreds of beneficiaries across Ethiopia.

The initiative, aimed at addressing vision-related challenges among underserved communities, began with a large-scale eye screening camp organized several weeks ago. More than 400 individuals underwent professional eye examinations conducted by qualified healthcare specialists. Following detailed assessments, 206 people identified as requiring corrective vision support were provided with prescription eyeglasses free of charge.

Day 2043 of the #TigrayGenocide:

@AbiyAhmedAli's regime is mobilizing massive military forces around #Tigray while imposing a cruel siege—fuel embargo, commercial blockade & soaring inflation. This is not peace. This is preparation for another catastrophic war.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Thank you, President @KagutaMuseveni, for a very constructive meeting, and especially for #Uganda’s strong efforts to contain #Ebola. We agreed that regional cooperation is key to prevent further spread of the virus, as well as investment in preparedness and readiness, and strong community engagement. I assured the President of @WHO’s commitment and support to stop this outbreak side by side let health workers and experts in Uganda and DRC.

I am in #Uganda, where the government has mounted a prompt and capable response to the outbreak of #Ebola.

Screening at the borders helped detect cases arriving from neighbouring #DRC, and the country’s surveillance, testing and case management systems are doing steady work. Of the 19 confirmed cases so far, 14 were among people who entered from DRC and five are Ugandan nationals. Sadly, two people from DRC have died, and our thoughts are with their families.

@WHO is supporting Uganda, alongside @AfricaCDC and partners across the region, as the country leads this response.

With continued collaboration, I am confident this outbreak can be brought under control.
