way to encourage grils education in South Sudan

In my plan, I suggest teaching strategies can play major roles in encouraging girls education in south Sudan. when girls are actively allow to participate in learning, they will be motivated and get concern about their education.  specially allowing girls to participate in group inquiry- based project, where they carryout or collect data, or information in a given topic, presenting their findings and later, they are allow to debate about their findings. Hence will remove fear away from some girl who are fearful and also allow them to escape some of the domestic work at home and give them more time for their study. since this group inquiry-base activities will account for their promotion to the next class. By doing this parents will understand that, if they don't give time for their girls to do those group work, she will fail at the end of a year and will be wastage of resources or money pay for school fees, as she will be repeating the same class. some of this inquiry-based activities should be related to everyday life. Those activities will encourage them to get feedback from other peers and add on to their motivation towards education. By doing so, it will encourage more girls in science subjects.

Goals/ Plans upon my return to South Sudan

• To teach students in secondary schools or at university level.
• To participate in any educational development at States level or National.
• To participate in professional development program for science teachers.
• Act as role model, to motivate and encourage girls and students generally in science education.

                   In fact, all the lessons I learnt are valuable, I have learnt a lot and I don't know where to begin and where to end. I have learnt a lot from Research class, the conferences that I attended, leadership class, the curriculum and the elective that I am taking in this semester. I have at least what to say in each course work, so they are all important  and useful for me. Through teaching I will achieve all those goals that I hope to achieve. For example, if I will teach in the university Research methodology, it will not be like the research methodology which had been taught for undergraduate students in those years, where students didn't know even which research methodology they used for their research studied. students have to present and defend their research study in order to get right feedbacks like what I have seen and observed from the conferences that I attended. I also learnt how to write legislative draft and writing grant proposal from leadership course, which will help me to participate in educational development at State and National level through reviewing and redesigning educational policy at State and National level. I have learnt how to design Units for teaching in curriculum course and still I will learn more in methods of teaching science education from my elective course. This knowledge will help me to participate in professional development program for secondary science teachers, like organizing trainings for secondary science teachers in the government universities during holidays such that they are taught how to apply inquiry-based  approach in their lessons. But what I need is PEACE  PEACE  in South Sudan in order to have good yield in Science Education. 

POOR QUALITY OF EDUCATION

                               In our group, we talked about insecurity. Under it, I took poor quality of education. During conflict, there will be insecurity and therefore no proper and effective teaching since many of qualified teachers will be displaced and others are the victims of the conflict, leading to poor quality of education in the country. Also during conflict, the security of most materials like textbooks which are supportive for both teachers and students are destroyed, hence leading to poor quality of education. Education in emergency are not effective since most of the teachers who are voluntary and unqualified. For example, when I was in senior six, we had physics teacher who sat in senior six and failed was assigned to teach us because there were no physics teachers. He taught us and sat with us during examination and passed very well. Is like, he was teaching himself alone. Therefore when there is insecurity, education is infective.
