WORLD LITERACY DAY | Literacy, opportunity and inclusion: Young voices on South Sudan’s education future

Literacy is more than reading and writing. UNICEF Young Reporters Esther Keji and Mark Habet discuss how literacy can help South Sudan’s young people make informed decisions, understand their rights, use technology responsibly and participate in their communities. They also examine barriers to education, including displacement, high school fees, child marriage, gender inequality and inadequate learning facilities, while sharing their hopes for a generation that can use education to build a more inclusive, resilient and peaceful South Sudan.
