We are supporting the Ministry of Education staff in all 10 States and in Juba to plan, manage and coordinate education provision. Without knowing where the needs are and which development partners are working to address these, it is impossible to target resources and action.

Coordination

The National Education Forum (NEF) was established by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and UNESCO in May 2012.

It brings together government, partners, donors, NGOs and civil society groups to discuss policy and develop plans for national priorities and target activities.

The forum is chaired by the Ministry, and the co-chair and deputy co-chair are from USAID and UNESCO. In 2014-15, with funding from USAID, UNESCO is working with the Ministry to establish state and county-level forums and increase education coordination nationwide.

In January 2012, the Global Partnership for Education Fund provided US $36.1m to the South Sudan Government for basic education.

UNICEF is the implementing agency and UNESCO is the coordinating agency.

We are working with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, donors and partners to review the national curricula, improve learning outcomes and construct schools in South Sudan.

Planning

UNESCO’s International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) and UNESCO South Sudan supported the Ministry of Education in their extensive sector planning process, providing technical expertise to develop a comprehensive five-year General Education Strategic Plan (GESP) which was endorsed by partners in August 2012.
