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.
