one of the poorest regions of a country. the conditions are in extremely difficult, and what their women have been telling me is they are fleeing from the order. those further in our four have not made it to the border —— darfur. they're afraid the fighting... fiend to the border -- darfur. they're afraid the fighting. . ._ to the border -- darfur. they're afraid the fighting... and is chad in a position _ afraid the fighting... and is chad in a position to _ afraid the fighting... and is chad in a position to allow _ afraid the fighting... and is chad in a position to allow them - afraid the fighting... and is chad in a position to allow them to - afraid the fighting... and is chad | in a position to allow them to just cross over the border if they are concerned that the fighting could reach that border area? officially, the chad border _ reach that border area? officially, the chad border is _ reach that border area? officially, the chad border is closed - reach that border area? officially, the chad border is closed for - the chad border is closed for supplies and for normal travel, which is going to have repercussions on the food chain here in chad,

camp, it's literally hundreds of people sitting in the village near the border. the number of refugees has outnumbered the number of local people. even before the refugees come, the local people hardly have even enough water for themselves. imagine now, with hundreds of refugees fleeing. pare imagine now, with hundreds of refugees fleeing.— refugees fleeing. are the international _ refugees fleeing. are the international aid - refugees fleeing. are the | international aid agencies refugees fleeing. are the . international aid agencies on refugees fleeing. are the - international aid agencies on the border, are they providing the sort of assistance, including medical care for these refugees? latte of assistance, including medical care for these refugees? we are doinu as care for these refugees? we are doing as much _ care for these refugees? we are doing as much as _ care for these refugees? we are doing as much as we _ care for these refugees? we are doing as much as we can. - care for these refugees? we are doing as much as we can. for i doing as much as we can. for example, from unicef�*s side, we've been able to proceed to the first distribution of essential kit. i'm speaking mosquito nets, blankets, water containers, so all essential things like that that refugees will

and do actually already need because most of them they're sleeping and makeshift shelters. as a huge effort from the global humanitarian community, but of course, that is going to require a lot of funding, and at this point, we are desperate to find funding to be able to help. right now, the people arriving don't have adequate shelter, and you say that they are increasingly arriving in larger numbers than even the local population. is there concern that this could create some kind of animosity? it’s that this could create some kind of animosi ? �* , , ., animosity? it's interesting that ou're animosity? it's interesting that you're asking _ animosity? it's interesting that you're asking because - animosity? it's interesting that you're asking because this - animosity? it's interesting that - you're asking because this morning, before he started to proceed to distribution, we had a meeting with the representatives. the representative told us yes, they

sheriff. this primary school has stayed open on strike days so far, protecting the children from any disruption. one teacher's union is already taking industrial action. now, head teachers will be balloted, too. i won't deny it's a challenge, balancing, you know, my need to keep the school open and reduce disruption for the children, with my desire to support my colleagues. and i would rather this than have their voices stifled. her union, meeting this weekend, has never gone out on strike in england. now they're promising to work with other teaching unions. their leader spelt out to me what a yes vote might mean. in essence, it probably means school closures to make the point that actually, come education needs to be valued more by this government than it currently is. and if the only way we can get government to listen is by taking this sort of action, then that's what we're going to have to do.

working parents hearing this will be tearing their hair out. of course they will, but i think parents also know that the education that's being delivered to their children right now should be so much better. the leaders of all four teaching unions in england spoke together today. it feels this is a government that want _ it feels this is a government that want education _ it feels this is a government that want education on _ it feels this is a government that want education on the _ it feels this is a government that want education on the cheap. . it feels this is a government that l want education on the cheap. they don't _ want education on the cheap. they don't want — want education on the cheap. they don't want to — want education on the cheap. they don't want to pay _ a yes vote by union members will really escalate this dispute, raising the prospect of strikes closing schools in the autumn. this is a calculated move by the unions to put pressure on the government. the government says its pay offer is fair and reasonable. an independent panel of experts will now look at next year. an extended series of strikes will mean teachers losing money. we're looking at around £80 a day that we'd lose out on, on average. could be more, could be less. so, i've chosen to take part in the national day of strikes, so the whole country walk—outs. at this school so far, parents said

they were broadly sympathetic. they need the government to put their hands in their pocket and pay what's needed so the teachers can work more comfortably at doing what they do best. for me, personally, i'm - self—employed and like i've said, we haven't been impacted by the school. _ by the school anyway. the cash for each child in england's schools is going up. teachers's pay comes out of that school budgets, so expect further rows about whether there's enough money. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. learning to be a life—saver. lisa is returning to education after having four children and the break—up of a
