Nationwide discussion: Circular on pregnant learners

Schools across South Sudan are expected to open on Monday, 3rd of May. This is one year after schools were closed as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic.
Together with Girls Education South Sudan, the Ministry of General Education and Instruction, carried out a country-wide Pregnancy Mapping in October 2020 which established that over 4,000 school girls have fallen pregnant. 

This large number can partly be attributed to COVID-19 school closures. 
 Esther Akumu Director General for Gender and Inclusive Education, Ministry of General Education and Instruction, and Agnieszka Mikulska, Quality Education Lead, Girls Education South Sudan (GESS) explained more about the circular to Miraya's Sani Martin on the Nationwide program.
