Education System of South Sudan

The levels of education essentially available within South Sudan are:

Basic Education

This offers students the basic literacy levels of reading and writing with primary use of English as the language of instruction over Arabic.

There are several organizations involved in this. They include USAID, UNICEF, CARE through Sudan Basic Education Program (SBEP).

Primary Education

Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) combines two primary grades into one year. ALP was specifically developed to meet the needs of internally displaced persons returning to their homes, demobilized soldiers, and girls, and will thereby play an indispensable role in helping “catch up” youngsters in southern Sudan.

Adult Education

This offers an opportunity to mature students / adults who missed out on formal education due to the civil war.
