Primary and secondary schools in Ethiopia’s conflict-affected Tigray region have begun 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, state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC) 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.
