SPLM Secretary for Social Welfare and Services called on leaders to embrace education because it changes people’s attitudes.
Nora Zangabeyo said people who move astray would not gain respect because they show bad example.
She said educated people changed and put bad behaviours aside to become role models.
Ms Zangabeyo advised leaders to deal with human beings appropriately, understand them, respect and think how to change them to better at all levels.
She urged leaders to think critically on how to appeal to people to fulfil their duties as required.
Ms Zangabeyo spoke in the sideline of the graduation ceremony of Vice President James Wani Igga, Central Equatoria Governor Clement Wani Konga and other SPLM top officials in Juba on Saturday.
Wani Igga, Wani Konga and other SPLM Leaders were awarded master degree in Transformation Leadership and Change.
