A
ferry-boat from Warkyun village in Kawthoung Township that carried students who
attended school in Pulawbaline Village sank in the sea while taking students to
school yesterday morning.
Sixteen
students have been rescued from the boat by fishermen from a nearby village.
The
ferry boat sank due to the crashing of waves into the ferry boat from a wake
that a much larger boat created when it crossed the ferry’s path.
Children
who live in villages near the sea went to school by ferry boat because some of
the villages do not have post-primary schools.
Relevant
organizations should provide life-jackets, umbrellas and raincoats to those who
have a difficult time commuting to school by ferry boat in addition a new
school should be opened in Warkyun village that’s affiliated according to the
voices of the local residents.
