The Education Program increases access to quality, inclusive learning for out-of-school children, youth, and adults affected by conflict, displacement, and marginalization.

Aligned with the Ministry of General Education and Instruction’s Alternative Education Systems policy, our program provides flexible pathways to literacy, numeracy, and formal certification while integrating essential life skills, conflict sensitivity, and protection measures. We support learner reintegration into formal education while actively strengthening South Sudan’s national education system.

How We Work

Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model, we provide flexible, community-adapted learning pathways that meet students where they are. Our initiatives include:

  • Accelerated Learning Program (ALP): Offering a condensed primary curriculum for out-of-school youth aged 12–18, fast-tracking four primary levels in four years to enable transition into secondary education.
  • Community Girl Schools (CGS): Providing a three-year lower primary education model for girls aged 8–12 in rural areas (with boys making up to 30% of enrollment to promote inclusive learning).
  • Pastoralist Education Program (PEP): Delivering mobile primary education for children in cattle camps, integrating basic literacy with practical livelihood skills.
  • Basic Adult Literacy & Lifelong Learning: Teaching literacy, numeracy, and practical life skills to adults to enhance their socio-economic opportunities and self-reliance.
  • Interactive Radio Instruction: Utilizing radio-based learning platforms for out-of-school youth, adults, and continuous teacher professional development.
  • Intensive English Courses: Conducting short-term language proficiency courses for Arabic-pattern teachers and civil servants to improve educational and workplace integration.
  • APEPT & ASEP Teacher Qualifications: Providing formal qualification pathways for dedicated teachers who have not yet completed their own primary or secondary education.

Unlocking Human Potential

Education is the most powerful tool to break cycles of conflict and poverty, opening doors to a brighter and more peaceful future.

Building Sustainable Foundations

Empowering teachers and equipping learners today builds the resilient leadership and peace our communities need tomorrow.

Why It Matters

Years of conflict, displacement, and inadequate infrastructure have left millions of children and adults in South Sudan without access to formal education. Without foundational literacy, numeracy, and life skills, individuals remain vulnerable to poverty, exploitation, and continued marginalization.

By offering flexible, certified education pathways tailored to rural, pastoral, and conflict-affected communities, we restore dignity, foster long-term peace, and ensure no learner is left behind.
