In this volatile environment, the already fragile education system got easily deteriorated at both the system and service delivery levels, with a high numbers of out-of-school children.<\/p>\n<p>According to the South Sudan Education Sector Analysis (2016) school coverage rates in South Sudan remain well below the regional average with Gross<\/p>\n<p>Enrolment Rates (GER) of 10 per cent at the pre-primary level and 72 per cent at the primary level. Globally, 35% of all out-of-school children of primary age, 25% of all out-of-school adolescents of lower secondary age, and 18% of all out-of-school youth of upper secondary age live in conflict-affected areas.<\/p>\n<p>INTERSOS Education in Emergency Response has a community based approach, with capacity-building through training of teachers, youth leaders and school management committees. The response provide psychosocial needs of children and\u00a0 Adolescents affected by trauma and displacement, the need to protect them from harm, and the need to maintain and develop study skills and disseminate key messages such as how to avoid HIV\/AIDS, landmine awareness, environmental education and education for peace and citizenship. In addition to this, INTERSOS Education Programme promotes the participation of under-represented groups, including girls, adolescents and persons with disability.<\/p>\n<p>The children presented boards with important messages during Mark\u2019s visit. Education is a fundamental right, yet in times of conflict and disaster it is often significantly disrupted, denying millions of girls and boys the opportunity to have a quality, safe education. Schools are, in many instances, occupied by armed groups or used as evacuation shelters, making education impossible. Provision of education to affected children is the only way to give bright future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 17th, 2018, Mark Andrew Lowcock, the
