Tonj State Minister of General Education on Thursday instructed all private schools operating within government facilities to evacuate them.
Bol Agei Bol said ‘there must be a bridge or gap to separate government schools from private ones’, Don Bosco Radio report.
The minster instructs Deng Nhail Memorial Secondary to evacuate from Bongo, Kalkuel Primary and Tonj Secondary and Academic from Tonj Girls’ Primary School.
