South Sudan on Wednesday launched a four-year education programme aimed at improving learning outcomes for children affected by conflict, displacement and other crises through play-based teaching and psychosocial support. We will help embed these methods within our teacher training institutions and our continuous professional development system so that it becomes ours,” he said. “When the funding finishes, it is now we who must take over and cascade this programme across South Sudan,” he said. Despite the investment, consortium members said the programme addresses only a small portion of South Sudan’s education needs. He said the programme supports teachers to deliver South Sudan’s existing curriculum through structured play rather than introducing a new curriculum.
