The Education Ministry of the Government of South Sudan had appealed for more support from donors to enhance the quality of education in the south.1 In May 2010, it was reported that over 3 million students obtained a free primary education in South Sudan.2 In order to enhance the quality of education, the government urged education institutions to embrace information communication technologies.3 Despite all these proposed reforms, corruption remained the main problem. Also, cultural attitudes and beliefs had curtailed girl’s enrollment in schools.4
