Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>I am overjoyed to be able to continue my higher education,\u201d said 17-year-old Hediya Wilfred Surur. \u201cI need to support my aging parents, and further education will definitely help me get a good job,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Hediya was speaking this week at the handover of a newly built secondary school in the Kediba area of Mundri County, funded by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).<\/p>\n

Students in Kediba no longer need to travel long distances to the nearest public school or relocate to the capital Juba for quality education.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs mothers, we were worried about our children\u2019s future,\u201d revealed Zenobia Emmanuel, a parent. \u201cWe had to send them away from home to nearby counties such as Mundri or Maridi, or even as far off as Juba for quality education. It meant that we were constantly anxious about them. But now, with this school, we have the opportunity to educate our children without robbing them of a stable parental presence at home,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Thomas Bazawi, a programme assistant with the UNMISS Protection, Transition and Reintegration Section, said: \u201cOur aim, through the QIPs programme, is to address urgent public needs through small-scale infrastructural interventions that have a massive impact on improving the lives of community members. The construction of this school is a key example. We hope that Kediba residents will manage the school well; UNMISS is always here to provide them with additional support, should they need it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Bazawi thanked county authorities for supporting the project, which was implemented by local partner Community Organization for Peer Education (COPE).<\/p>\n

\u201cAs community members, it\u2019s our duty to make the most use of this conducive learning facility and increase enrollment of girls to counter harmful traditional practices such as early or forced marriages,\u201d said Fozia Margaret, County Commissioner, Mundri East.<\/p>\n

\u201cI advise parents to think of education as power because when girls and boys are equally educated, they have the power to build a stable and secure South Sudan,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The newly built Kediba secondary school consists of one block of four classrooms designed to accommodate some 200 students.<\/p>\n
