Juba, October 30, 2016 (SSNA) — South Sudanese government has admitted that South Sudan lacks necessary means to educate her citizens unless the ongoing civil war is brought to an end.

In move seen by regional watchers as surprise to government supporters, Juba right-hand man for education Deng Deng Hoch publicly complained that education will never be the same unless the ongoing war in the country is brought to an end, adding that people who are now experiencing problems in educations are overwhelmingly girls.

Hoch suggests open educational systems for South Sudanese and urges exclusivity in education systems.
