JUBA — South Sudan Union of Private Schools is urging the government to reconsider the order of regulating private school fees to charge an amount not exceeding 80,000 South Sudanese Pounds.
A ministerial order issued Thursday by the Ministry of General Education banned all private schools from charging fees in U.S. Dollars and charging annual fees not exceeding 200,000 SSP for day and boarding schools.
Achier Manyuat John, Deputy Chairperson of South Sudan Union of Private Schools, said the order will compromise the delivery of quality of education in the country.
“If we look at the cost, the determinant of cost per each school, we are looking at the cost of labor, the cost of rent. You might find one school is paying 500 U.S dollar per month,” John told reporters in Juba on Friday during a press conference.
“We are looking at the cost of paying teachers, if you want to provide a quality service, you must consider the engine and here, a teacher is an engine in a school and if we are to go per circular, it is very sad,” he added.
Noble Arem Riak, Interim Security of Union of Private Schools, assured the public that the circular will not stop private schools from registering pupils and students.
“The registrations have been going on and even last week when they communicated that only schools that continue to register must be shut down. We could not stop. Registration is ongoing,” Arem said.
“Even on Monday, we will open our schools because those children are not our own children. They are children of South Sudan and we can’t stop operating. We will open and continue to engage the Ministry of General Education,” he added.
Private school are good by the way, they just follow the curriculum of the country, their different with government subsided schools is they pay their teachers very well. They always go to universities and go studied with public schools. Many student who always go and failed in universities are ‘boys/girls’ from private schools. I for one, studied at Nakuru High School, Kenya, The university of McGill, Canada, Technical university, Berlin and the university of NSW, Australia. All those colleges are ‘public universities’ and they know what they are doing to their countries and the world.
But here in South Sudan, we are too just want round up these vermins/parasites, killed them and throw them into the Nile and they have to wait for their *damn evil White Americans, white English people, their cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, their Abeshas (so-called ethiopians) prostitutes, South Africa and some of their creeps in between who have *always use our country and people their ‘benchmark’ and as their own country and their subjects or slaves*.
We the Ancient Egyptian fools, Let any South Sudanese fool brings these vermins.parasites into our country and over our people ever ever again, they would bed dead. Reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
The Minister of General Education must make a double check on all Private schools in South Sudan. It is very excellent point for those who brought up this issue. Some businesses people are taking advantage because of none regulations in South Sudan. I will give you a good example, if you go to Wau town in Western Bahr El Ghazal State and asked the Students of Standard school on how much the school fees perhaps, you will be surprised. A child that started learning the A B C D are asking to pay 40,000 for only registration and when they add uniforms and stock then, you are absolutely have to pay 100,000 per year this is too much for Primary schools children and it is necessary for government to make regulations as much as possible. Such a school in Wau city is charging children more than College schools and government must lower the fees in all private schools in South Sudan.
