Journalist Bob C. paints the grim reality of where Haiti will be 10 to 15 years from now with all the schools closed in the ghettos of the capital.

Haitian Journalist Roberde Celine dit Bob C., L'original, le vrai, l'unique en son genre!

First read: Haiti Education - A new study shows many schools are closed in the poorest neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince

If 64 schools are closed (in the Delmas area) and the insecurity is preventing a Prime Minister from laying a rather flower on the Monument of Emperor Jean-Jacques dessalines while he arrived right there at the headquarters of CIMO, has the State questioned itself on this crisis, Journalist Bob C questions.

With all these schools shut down, the employees were working at these schools, what have they become? He asked

The teachers who were teaching in these schools, what happened to them?

What about the children in these neighborhoods who no longer have access to these schools, what are they thinking about?

Are we ever getting out of this spiral that we have found ourselves in?

It is true now that we have an insecurity that is overboard but, in 10-15 years, what then, journalist Bob C asked.

These poor children, the government is not even thinking about them. They are abandoned by the State.

Growing up in the ghetto seeing nothing but weapons, guns and stuff, they could have gone to school but the schools are closed.

What will become of them?

Do these people have no rights?

Do these school teachers have no rights?

The school directors, have they no rights?

Journslist Roberde Celine wonders what will happen to this country.
