Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Aduk Lual Awuol Ngong who emerged as the best female candidate in the 2022 South Sudan Certificate of Primary Education wants to be a doctor.<\/p>\n

She attributed her success to President Salva Kiir for signing the peace agreement that allowed her to continue with her education.<\/p>\n

Adut also thanked her elderly sister whom she said has been supporting her to excel in her education.<\/p>\n

She also thanked the school for contributing to her excellent performance.<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old from Venus Star Academy Goroyo Primary School in Central Equatoria was named the second-best countrywide and the top-best female candidate.<\/p>\n

She scored a total mark of 437, one mark behind the top pupil.<\/p>\n

Aduk lost her father in 2012, and since then has been under the care of her elder sister Agok Lual.<\/p>\n

Being the fifth born in the family, Aduk thanks her sister for paying her school fees and other personal needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can revise in boarding school and I am happy about it. I want to be a doctor to help and give people medicines,\u201d Aduk told Eye Radio in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very happy for my sister who has stopped giving birth because of me if she was just producing, I would have [remained] at home or done other things without going to school and I am even happy for my teachers,<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy for our President for signing peace. If there was no peace, we would have been in different places now.\u201d<\/p>\n

For his part, the head teacher of Venus Star Academy Goroyo Primary School says he is excited about the performance of Aduk Lual.<\/p>\n

David Livingstone adds she has made history by securing the first position in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited because she has created what is said to be history and it is very important for the institutions to work for history. Not only that, it is going to be an encouragement to other children to be performing like the way she did it,\u201d said Livingstone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am also excited because of the peace these children or the candidates would not have made it like the way she did it.\u201d<\/p>\n
