Milly Hussein lays down post-independence education aspiration
“Education has great challenges since the people have higher expectations. This can not be done within a year or three, but we do what we can for the people to see the changes”
BY MOI PETER JULIUS
The Minister of General Education Milly Hussein has said improving services will take longer because the challenges are enormous.
“The Ministry of Education has great challenges since the people have higher expectations. This can not be done within a year or three, but we do what we can for the people to see the changes”, he said.
He saluted those who paid a lot for the freedom of South Sudan. “Many died during the struggle, orphaned and handicapped. Dr. John Garang, the late leader of Sudan Peoples’ Liberation Movement remains great and the founder of the new nation”.
Milly Hussein commended the president of the Republic of South Sudan, Salva Kiir for his leadership and the patience endured during the six years interim further saying that war would have erupted but all the provocations were tolerated till the attainment of the independence on the 9th July.
The Advisor to the Minister, William Ater Machiek, said that the younger generation will achieve what they had longed for.
