  1. SOUTH SUDAN

  2. South Sudan Recently, independent South Sudan has yet to settle into peace. Continuing the armed forces’ pattern of violations against education while fighting in the Sudan... • South Sudanese forces first occupied schools in Ezo County in 2009, and remained in Andrai Primary School into 2011. Children from the school moved to a temporary learning space on a nearby plot of land lent by a community member. However, the landowner would not allow latrines to be built on the land, raising sanitation concerns. • Security forces used at least 21 schools for military purposes during 2011, affecting at least 10,900 students, according to the UN. • Soldiers occupied Kuerboani Primary School, in Unity State, South Sudan, during the night, while children used the school during the day. Child protection staff reported that children were using classrooms that contained weapons and grenades. • It is estimated that rehabilitating a primary school with eight classrooms after a period of occupation, replacing windows, doors, furniture, learning materials, and re-digging pit latrines, costs approximately 200,000 SSP ($67,000). In 2011, military use of schools caused 2.4 million SSP ($800,000) of damage. • The Sudanese People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) reportedly used 18 schools for military purposes, 13 of which were already being so used since 2011. By the end of 2012, 15 of the schools had been vacated. The military use of the schools reportedly affected more than 13,000 children. • Juba Day Secondary School, in Central Equatoria State, was closed for a week following a violent crackdown on student protests by the South Sudan National Police Service using live ammunition in October 2012.
