Education is Making a Difference in South Sudan | UNICEF USA

Even before the conflict broke out in 2013, the education system in South Sudan was struggling: there were not enough schools, not enough trained teachers and no national curriculum. With the conflict, more and more children were forced to drop out. Teachers were forced to leave schools to look for alternative sources of income. In 2013, the United Nations established civilian protection sites in Juba, Bentiu and Malakal. UNICEF launched emergency education activities to care for and protect children from abduction, militia recruitment and sexual exploitation. Schools were established at every site. They were immediately filled with the voices of young children, most of whom never had been to a school before. Now the schools are organized and structured, providing a safe space and learning opportunities to every child. UNICEF has established partnerships to run the schools and has trained teachers to provide a truly life changing service — education.
