๐ฉ๐ฉ 4. Warning to Non-CDM Teachers and Charity-Disguised Tutors in Minhla Township
The Public Administration Team of Minhla Township has released a statement warning that, despite numerous public notices urging Non-CDM (Non-Civil Disobedience Movement) teachers in urban wards and village tracts of Minhla Township to refrain from cooperating with the military junta, these individuals continue to collaborate with the regime in blatant disregard of public sentiment.
According to the statement, Non-CDM teachers who previously held posts under the Education Department are currently evading accountability in Minhla while actively cooperating with the military junta. The Public Administration Team revealed that certain teachers and tutors operating under the guise of charitable education within various wards and village tracts are, in fact, colluding with Non-CDM personnel and have been secretly offering paid tuition services since the junta’s violent coup in 2021. These activities have continued for five years, during which they have charged monthly fees for tutoring students from kindergarten to middle school levels, often under a concealed and unauthorized framework.
Given these circumstances, the Public Administration Team, in coordination with the Minhla Township People's Defense Team, announced that decisive action will be taken against such tutors and teachers who persist in collaborating with the junta and clandestinely conducting paid classes. The public is kindly requested to promptly report such individuals to the Minhla Township Public Administration Team or the People's Defense Team.
