Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A female teacher in Central Equatoria has appealed to the government to make the teaching profession attractive to women. <\/a>Mary Ajua has been in the teaching profession for the last ten years.<\/p>\n

<\/a>She currently teaches at School Homing Dove, a private school in the capital Juba.<\/p>\n

Ajua told Eye Radio that lack of motivation is hindering women from joining the profession.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet them make the teaching profession attractive so that it can attract women. Let them also provide to female teachers for example accommodation and even insurance,\u201d Ajua said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet them increase their salaries and provide transport. These are some of the things I think will help my family and help my country and the future of South Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>For his part, Metaloro Emmanuel the head Teacher of Baraka central in Juba also agrees.He says female teachers are performing better in schools compared to their male counterparts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are the builders of the female learners. For any female learner to become a strong woman in the future or in the longline, it need a strong female teacher in the school,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese female teachers also help in resolving issues that pertain to the female learners. Female teachers like in my school.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call them [women] the pillar of the school because a woman cannot run away from the job weather in a difficult time and they will not surrender the job but male they will surrender if things become worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2017, the European Union pledged to provide a monthly incentive of $40 dollars to primary school teachers across the country after the Ministry of Education confirmed that teachers were leaving the profession due to low pay.<\/p>\n
