Addis Ababa, April 27 (IANS) Primary and secondary schools in Ethiopia's conflict-hit Tigray region have started registering students after a three-year hiatus. Tigray Education Bureau on Wednesday disclosed that primary and secondary schools in the region started registering students as they have finalized preparation to resume regular classes, Xinhua news agency reported. According to Dagnaw Aytegeb, communication director of the Tigray Education Bureau, students from pre-school to 12th grade are registering as regular education is set to commence on May 2. He said remedial classes will also be given to students to make up for the education time lost during the conflict. The OCHA, in its situation update issued earlier this month, stressed that accelerated learning activities are required for children who have been out of school for more than three years in the Tigray region.
