How i will encourage Girl's Education when i go back

                  I think my position, as a female teacher is a good example of a positive role model that can inspire girls in their education. As South Sudan has gone through a serious issue of girl drop out, I think the best way that I can use to encourage girl’s education is through the syllabus. I will develop an engaging curriculum that includes diversity and relevant issues to Gender by introducing lessons that talk about the success girls from other country have achieve through education and also use many educative programs that were done by school girls of other countries inform of activities so as to attract them. I will design activities that will much base on student centered. Although the student centered might not be effective sometimes, but I will emphasis much on cooperative activities where they will be divided in to groups and each person in the group will present to the other group and vise visa so that all the shy girls will participate in the class. Lastly, I will not just consider my self as a teacher but a best friend with motherly love and always motivate, appreciate and encourage them in their work.

So friends don’t you think adding diversity in our lessons can be another way of inspiring girl’s education?

My plans when I return to South Sudan

              As we know South Sudan already has its educational system, my plans when I go back is first to review the policy that exist and then see how to improve it, I will focus on the weakness and see how I can help in making it a better opportunity for teaching and learning then I will participate effectively in its development and act as an agent of change .I will contribute in the curriculum development and introduce the different teaching methodologies that will help in making effective teaching, I will also be a role model to the women and ladies in that state and play a big role in the community development by empowering women and making them engage in different activities that will also contribute to the nation building especially  by making English trainings for Arabic speakers.

                   While at the university level I will  play a vital role in departmental decisions and help in designing the curriculum that will meet the needs of the students and introduce the learners center method regardless of the class size because the lessons I have learned from Indiana University has build and developed my professional skills and has prepared me to be a creative teacher, flexible, resourceful, open minded and tolerant.

So ladies, don’t you think the lessons we have learned from Indiana University have really prepared us for making change in the educational system of South Sudan?

Impact of conflict in secondary education in south sudan

The conflict in South Sudan has negatively affected the educational system of the country in general and specifically the secondary education.This was seriously mark with the tragedy incident of Dec,15 2013 in which the students sitting for the secondary certificate where affected and the exams of that year is not value in south Sudan and is consider to be fake and even in some countries like Khartoum. The conflict has resulted in to interruption of educational system in most states in South Sudan which were affected  and the students from those states were force to displace to other  states in order to continue with their education.Most families with good financial status has to send their children to the neighboring countries to continue with their schools in a good learning atmosphere.The conflict does not only make interruption in educational system in some states in south Sudan but it generally affected the schools calendar of the whole country because schools at large in south Sudan don't have a fixed calendar and thats a very bad reputation for the educational system  of the country.Some schools open in Feb while most open in May the same thing in higher institutions . The conflict has cause instability to most students in secondary schools because sitting for the secondary certificate needs peace of mind and this conflict has let to their poor academic performance which may affect them badly when joining the university thats why most students prefer to go to the neighboring countries but those who cant afford end up either continuing in such situation or dropout.So what i think the 14 of us can do after completing the program beside the conflict in the country is just to help in the part of designing a fixed calendar so that all schools can look the same and have a smart educational system.So friends what do you think about this suggestion or is their any alternative we can use to help in the adjustment of secondary education of South Sudan regardless of the conflict taking place?
