The Thai government has been fighting violence involving insurgents in the three Muslim-dominant southern border provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat since early 2004.
As the death toll in the conflict rises--it has now claimed over 1,900 lives so far -- local teachers, mostly Buddhists, have been targeted by the insurgents who regard them as a primary symbol of the Buddhist culturally-oriented central government system.
As many as 110 schools have been burned and 71 schoolteachers, administrators and other staff have been killed by suspected militants since the attack on an army camp in Narathiwat in January 2004 set off a renewed anti-government insurgency.(TNA)-E001
