Education is essential for youth in South in the 21st century because it equips them with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in an increasingly complex and fast changing world. Promoting education in South Sudan is vital for peace, development, and stability. Years of conflict have disrupted learning, leaving many children without access to schools. Education empowers communities, reduces poverty, and fosters hope for a brighter future. Investing in schools today builds the foundation for lasting progress and unity tomorrow.
It is our primary responsibility to avail educational opportunities to our fellow South Sudanese to benefit. If you are an urban planner or urban economist willing to advance your knowledge and skills, visit Home – Africa Urban Lab and apply to join 2025/2026 cohort
