Sudan: The Daughters of Southern Sudan

Officials in the autonomous south are attempting to tackle education - a sector that literally needs to be built from scratch.

Three-quarters of adults are illiterate and the UN says only about 22% of an estimated 2.2m school-age children are enrolled - with about 1% of girls finishing primary school.

In rural areas, a school of 800 pupils will have only four or five teachers - But far more needs to be done - the UN estimates more than 9,000 teachers are needed across South Sudan's 10 states if all eligible children are to go to school.

Despite the obstacles, South Sudanese do have great hope and commitment about establishing a vibrant new education system.

This is so humbling.. That's why I always tell the Southern Sudanese here in the U.S to appreciate a lot that they have.. Free basic education from elementry to high school. It doesnt' get any better than that..

It's thematically hopeful, this future's growth, adjacent to the Janjaweeds' killing fields... there could be trouble coming. Southern Sudan had better prepare its children to fight wars. The Janjaweed won't simply go away.

This video has evocative music. Who is the artist?
