Ere County in Lol State expresses concerns over the prolonged shortage of teachers in the county.
The County Commissioner Dukumi Abakar Abdel-Aziz says the only primary school in the area does not have enough teachers.
‘We are facing a severe shortage of teachers. We lack facilities but the school is operational despite the challenges,’ he says.
The official reiterated that shortage of teachers is the biggest challenge facing the education sector in the county.
He adds that poor roads and lack of trained medical personnel are affecting service delivery in South Sudan.
In another development, Abdel-Aziz complained of a severe shortage of veterinary medicines, especially anti-rabies drugs.
