The Mundri East County Commissioner Margaret Fozia Emmanuel has appealed to the national government to give necessary support to government-owned schools in three counties of Greater Mundri to elevate their standards.

Margaret said most of the public schools in the counties of Greater Mundri do not depict the right image of public schools controlled by the government.

“We have things that were in the hands of the national government, but they are not reflecting the image of government-owned institutions at all, especially schools in our countries,” Fozia stressed.

She mentioned some schools, which she said were in a poor state.

Among the schools she outlined were Lui Girl’s Secondary School in Mundri East County, Mundri Secondary School in Mundri West County, and Mvolo Secondary School in Mvolo County, Western Equatoria State.

According to the commissioner, although some of these mentioned schools have some good structures, the necessary services to make them look like public schools are not there.

“It is a shame to see public schools still operating under trees since independence. We cannot continue to let this happen on our watch. Our national government needs to act now. Communities need to see good schools in their area. This is our appeal to President Kiir,” she said.

Margaret added that all the mentioned schools are supposed to be under government watch, and they deserve full support from the national government.

“I am appealing to the Mundri communities and schools, let our national government be reminded that those schools need full support, need to be fully equipped, including catering for the teachers,” Margaret reiterated.

She also called on the government to construct Mvolo Secondary rather than continuing to operate under the trees.

The Commissioner said it was high time for the government, especially her ruling party, the Sudan People Liberation Movement (SPLM), to embark on promoting education in the country.

”By doing so, we are attempting to move things in the right direction; otherwise, we do not want to kill our education system,” she added.

She also called on the government to deliver basic service needs to its people, including clean water, electricity and others.
