Episode Details

In Uror County, Jonglei State, 43 of the 106 schools operate without buildings, holding classes under trees. Seasonal floods and ongoing insecurity, including child abductions and cattle raids, regularly disrupt learning and endanger students. Of the over 800 teachers serving the county, only 270 receive government salaries, while 552 work as unpaid volunteers. Local authorities are urgently appealing for support to provide safe classrooms, clean water, security, and fair compensation for teachers. Radio Miraya's Mach Samuel reports from a local school.
