Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The University of Juba administration on Friday approved a proposal to establish a space science academy for the institution.<\/p>\n

Vice Chancellor Professor John Akec says the university\u2019s senate sitting agreed to establish what he termed as Mayardit Academy for Space Science.<\/p>\n

If accomplished, it will be the first-ever space science academy in the country.<\/p>\n

In a statement on his social media page, Professor Akec terms the plan a historic moment and said the center will educate the public about space.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prime goal of Mayardit Academy for Space Sciences is to educate the public on the benefits of space-based products and services, accelerate the development of national space policies by the government,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd promote the adoption of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in all aspects of socioeconomic development.\u201d<\/p>\n

UNIVERSITY OF JUBA TO ESTABLISH ACADEMY FOR SPACE SCIENCES<\/p>\n

It was historic on 2nd December 2022 at 11:00 pm Friday night when Senate sitting 223 approved proposal to establish MAYARDIT ACADEMY FOR SPACE SCIENCES to educate public on benefits of space-based products and services pic.twitter.com\/erXchFBsuF<\/p>\n

\u2014 John Akec (@JohnAkec) December 3, 2022<\/p>\n

Mayardit Space Sciences Academy will be hosted on the roof of the new Lecture Halls complex.<\/p>\n

Some social media users hailed the plan, as some cast doubts on the institution\u2019s ability to run the expensive program and the need for qualified space scientists.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s so amazing. But I doubt you will have qualify personnel to teach these modern sciences. It would been better for university to first offer scholarship in these specific specialty for a total take off. Anyway the idea is very authentic.<\/p>\n

They just need facilities, there are many qualify people in the world who would love to work in South Sudan. In 5 or 8 years they\u2019ll have home-grown personnels ready to take over.<\/p>\n

The proposed space science center is part of the vice chancellor\u2019s ambitious plan to standardize the university.<\/p>\n

In May 2022, Vice Chancellor Akec availed the master plan for the construction of a \u201cTechnology City\u201d at the institution.<\/p>\n

The facilities would include a business school, high technology, science and business park, hotels and a convention or conference center and super market.<\/p>\n

It will also include a hospital, male and female students hostel, a gym and sports center, students business area, staffing residence and shopping arcades.<\/p>\n

Professor John Akec says the University will share a portion of the project with investors.<\/p>\n
