The Minister of General Education and Instruction, Hon. Dr. Kuyok Abol Kuyok, held fruitful meetings at the British Parliament with key figures, including Dame Anneliese Dodds, Chair of the Sudan and South Sudan All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) and former Minister of State for Development at the FCDO.

The South Sudanese delegation included H.E. Nickson Peter Deng, South Sudan’s Ambassador to the UK, and his staff.

The Minister also met with Hon. Sarah Champion, Chair of the International Development Select Committee.

In both discussions, Dr. Kuyok expressed appreciation to the British government and people for their generous support to education in South Sudan, and for girls’ education in particular. However, he expressed concern over cuts to UK Official Development Assistance (ODA) for education, warning that it could lead to loss of hard-won gains. The MPs agreed to raise the matter with His Majesty’s Government (HMG).
