Upon further investigation, security personnel discovered that the incident had occurred that while the headmistress, Daw Yin Nwet (53 years old), a resident of the village, was on her way to the school, three so-called PDF terrorists appeared, brandishing weapons. They threatened her and said, “We know the school is running. We know you are accepting enrollments. Stop immediately. If you don’t comply, we will shot and kill you. You are not allowed to travel. You must stay at home. After threatening, the group fled the scene. The school is currently managed by Headmistress Daw Yint Nwe, along with two female teachers and one general staff member. For the 2025-2026 academic year, 63 students have been enrolled, it is reported.
