The Deputy Headmaster of Juba One Girls Primary School is appealing to the government to focus more on education sector in South Sudan for better future of the country.
Sosthenes Mobruk Timothy calls on the Ministry of education to increase teachers’ salaries to motivate them to teach well.
Mobruk also appeals to the government to employ more qualified English teachers since English is the official language of the county.
‘Government should do much in Education sector because without education there will be no development, Mobruk says. So the government should do more to improve the standard of education in our country. He added
Another Head Teacher of Juba Girls Secondary School, Carlo Tombe says his school lacks chalks and teachers.
‘We sometimes have the problem of chalks. Even we have few numbers of teachers here. Most of the teachers took leave without pay due to some problems like the payment is very little’.
Deputy Headmistress of Juba one Boys Primary School, Clementina Kiden Arkanjelo believes the government is not doing enough to improve education sector in the country.
She fears that the street children loitering around may be a threat to the country if they are not educated.
The Headmistress adds that the street children are involved in drugs instead of going to school.
‘Let the government also open it’s eyes and put education as a priority because now I’m seeing as if education is already neglected. Kiden says, I can’t understand. If we leave these children to go into street, it is a problem on our head. These are the very children who will become thieves, robbers and killers. she added
According to The Deputy Headmaster of Juba One Girls Primary School, salaries of government employed teachers in South Sudan ranges between one thousand to three thousands South Sudanese pounds.
