World Teachers Day

South Sudan joins the international community in celebrating World Teachers Day on 5 October. At the global level, some 5.24 million teachers must be recruited to reach 57 million children of primary school age currently out of school. In South Sudan, enrollment has increased, but completion of primary education is still low at an estimated 30 per cent for boys and 17 per cent for girls. Photo: UNMISS/Martine Perret.
