Within the last decade, the South Sudan education system has taken significant steps in improving
enrolment and retention through discharging its legal mandate of free and compulsory education of
quality for all. This has been done through the implementation of social interventions in areas of
policies, standards and implementation mechanisms. As a Ministry, we have also recognized that
although the Republic of South Sudan became a full member of the International Community after
gaining Independence in 2011, it is yet bound by all charters and protocols pertaining to child
rights to life, protection and to acquiring leaning of high quality.
