Encouraging Girls Education in South Sudan.

The way l will encourage girls education in S. Sudan upon my return will be through advocating for more training and recruiting of female teachers in schools. This is because South Sudan does not have enough trained personnel in the field of education more especially women. By training and recruiting more female teachers in the country they become positive role models to girls, encouraging them to go to school. Another reason is the presence of female teachers in S. Sudan will motivate parents to take their girls to school by putting in mind that when their daughter are in school, its for the benefit of their families and communities. Female teachers also help in reducing gender discrimination and therefore they create safe school environment for girls to learn.

The way l will do it will be through radio broadcasting program. According to S. Sudan first national media survey in the year 2013, radio remains the most accessible source of information for the vast majority of South Sudanese people. In conclusion by training female teachers the cycle of poverty will be reduced, the will create peaceful community and things changes.   

My goals when l return to South Sudan.

So far what l have learned from my course work are many but l will mention a few of them, things like leadership skills, the importance of diversity, the development of underdevelopment, modernization, guide on ending extreme poverty and the reasons for education in emergency such as education for peace and citizenship. All these have given me a professional knowledge and equipped me with relevant research and teaching skills.

Upon my return home l will come up with educational programmes like the value of peace in a community and how they can start to empower themselves both from rural to urban communities and be the catalyst for gender equity in higher education through the media and a Non-profit NGO. The medium channel that l will use will be the radio this is because it transmit information faster and at least most people can afford to buy one. Secondly it can also educate those who are not in school both the young and the elderly. In conclusion, l believe this course will help me to facilitate understanding of concepts and principles and their application in learning and real life to foster improvement in the welfare of society. 

TOPIC: New Untrained and Lacking Confidence.

Lack of training in emergencies situations E.g. Natural disaster or Conflict.

Teachers with no training in emergencies places like South Sudan fail a lot due to the fact that they do not have the knowledge and skills to teach or address the needs relevant to children living in a post – conflict environment. Schools systems in South Sudan are affected by the practice of new teachers due to lack of support therefore they tend to create a cycle of failure among teachers and students in the country. These reasons will give wrong information about teaching to the communities for instance like being a teacher is not an important profession. South Sudanese children deserve the world best teachers; education often represents more opportunities for these children to attain a better life. These cannot happen if post- conflict children don’t have access to well trained teachers.

In conclusion, helping new teachers get better requires investments in educational leadership, which will move the country forward in peace building and education for all. Secondly the focus should be more on the needs of the untrained teachers and they should link them to the few trained teachers. Lastly in order education to be the tool of development in South Sudan it is important to have a solid understanding of the technical capacity of  a community to implement education  programs like strategies to enhance girls participation and attainment.
