my experience at the Midwest Conference of the comparative and International Education society (CIES) is one of the best experience at the school of  education that made me to gain more knowledge about the world in general since different participants were coming from different places around the continents and l socialized with some of them in oder to know more about their topics that captured my attention. Apart from that l learned a lot of things to do with research objective and methodology in one of the sessions where the researcher topic was identifying of school factors that contribute to low literacy acquisition of retention among female school dropouts the case study of Gambia and she used  ethnography method to collect her data l was like ok! there is such a method? I was kinder surprise when one of the presenter topic was of love and learning the case study was Zambian students conflicting desires in pursuit of sexual and economic capital at college of education. Her presentation was so interesting and what surprised me is the way she was so open and free to talk about examples to do with sexual view.

In conclusion indeed l learned a lot of things which all were beneficial to me in all of my course units these semester including social equity policy and the nearby future.

         what approach should South Sudan take in developing a history curriculum? And why....
  
According to me History curriculum of South Should not involve everything that should be taught in history education as the historian specialists say; the will never be enough space to teach everything in history therefore the people who should develop South Sudan history curriculum should be well trained and qualified teachers, scholars, professors  who have knowledge about the country's cultures, resources and ethnic groups. when developing the history curriculum it should be put exactly at the levels where the students need to learn for instance the story of origins, freedom, identity and progress so that it becomes part of their lives. The history curriculum should also include peace, civil rights movement as sub-topic so that the upcoming generation know war or attacking each other  is not the solution instead goals can be achieved in a peaceful way. Decision making(right decisions) should also be part of curriculum because these will make students analyze issues, formulate informed decisions and effectively communicate their message which will help them broaden their understanding of the world.
