      With the aim of creating an uneducated society by depriving children of their right to education and instilling fear among the public, the NUG, CRPH and their subordinate PDF terrorist groups, which have been designated as terrorist organizations by the government, are carrying out various destructive activities across the country. These include intimidation and coercion of students, teachers and parents abductions and killings and arson and bombing attacks on education facilities. In addition to these acts, PDF terrorists, driven by destructive intent, are vandalizing government efforts to develop the education sector. Their actions include burning textbooks and teaching materials, seizing educational resources by force and distributing threatening letters at schools.
     Since they are committing such terrorist acts, on 16 March 2025 a threatening letter was reportedly found at the Basic Education High School in Pa Yat Kyawl Village, Taungdwingyi Township of Magway Region. Security personnel arrived there for further investigation and found a "warning notice" pasted to the door of staff housing within the school compound, along with a 7.62 x 39 bullet.

The security personnel removed both the letter and the bullet.
     Security personnel are taking necessary measures to identify and apprehend as per security procedures and take legal action against those terrorists doing such terrorist acts with the intent to disrupt school openings as well as to intimidate students, teachers and parents, it is reported.
