3369: WORLD TEACHERS DAY | Standing with South Sudan’s Teachers: What Needs to Change?

What does standing with teachers mean in South Sudan? On World Teachers’ Day, Radio Miraya speaks with education specialists Manuela Tiyu and Tawanda Madhangi about unpaid salaries, overcrowded classrooms and the challenges of keeping qualified teachers in rural schools. They discuss a three-year programme targeting more than 4,200 teachers, alongside practical support such as housing and training. The conversation examines what government, communities and businesses can do to help teachers stay in the profession and give children a better education.
