The minister for General Education and Instruction has cautioned the community leaders in the greater Kapoeta community against "self-marginalization".

"The worst thing you can do is marginalize yourself on your own by preventing the children from going to school," Awut Deng Achuil said at the opening of a three-day community mobilization education conference in Kapoeta town on Monday.

She believes that the community, which comprises Jie, Toposa, Buya, and Didinga, does not send all their school-age children to school.

They would rather have their male children look after livestock while the girls take care of domestic chores.

This, Awut said, amounts to the self-marginalization of the greater Kapoeta, especially when other communities in the country keep their children in school.

"At the national level, we need the voice of Toposa to be there, and it cannot happen if you don't send your children to school," she continued.

Various stakeholders, including political, religious, and traditional leaders, as well as civil society representatives and teachers, are attending the conference.

The conference on general education is aimed at assessing challenges facing the education sector in the region and ways forward, under the theme: "Invest in the education of boys, girls, and children with disabilities."

The conference, which concludes on Wednesday, has identified a shortage of professional teachers, little pay, delayed salary payments, the absence of feeding programs, and poor educational facilities, among others.

In 2023, 300 pupils out of 381 abandoned school in Kapoeta North County, Eastern Equatoria State, due to a devastating hunger in the area.
