Juba County teachers called off today their three-week strike over unpaid salaries and decided to resume classes tomorrow during a general assembly at Juba Day Secondary Schools.
The teachers issued a note saying that after the “harmonious meeting” with Governor Clement Wani Konga, on Thursday, “the strike is uplifted immediately.”
Peter Lodu heads the Emergency Committee of Basic and Secondary School Teachers. He told Bakhita FM that in today’s general assembly the teachers were briefed about the meeting with the governor and decided to return to teaching tomorrow.
Mr. Lodu said the government and the teachers at last understand each other and they got the payment of October.
He promised students that teachers will make a special effort to cover for the three weeks the strike lasted.
Mr. Lodu added that the teachers are opening tomorrow expecting that they get their salaries for November and December on time.
The Catholic Radio Network (CRN) is a media project constituted by community-based radio stations broadcasting in Frequency Modulation from Juba, Yei, Torit, Yambio, Rumbek, Tonj, Wau, and Malakal. CRN has also a station in the Nuba Mountains. All the stations share the same vision and mission, and are bound by common editorial and administrative policies. All stations broadcast shared programs in English: news, civic education, and other educational programs. Due to the heterogeneous realities of South Sudan, each station is rooted in its locality and broadcasts locally produced culture-sensitive programs in the languages which are understood by the local people. For its outreach, CRN has a potential audience of about seven million people, considering the influx of returnees to South Sudan after the Sudan Population Census 2008.
