\u200eThe headmaster of Jigomoni Nursery and Primary School in Yei River County, Taban David Eluzai, has welcomed support from the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Chinese Battalion while appealing for assistance to address the school\u2019s infrastructure and staffing challenges.<\/p>\n

\u200eTaban said the donated scholastic materials and footballs would help learners and ease some of the challenges facing the school.<\/p>\n

\u200eHe said the school has more than 1,400 learners and 13 government teachers, adding that some teachers require further training and capacity building.<\/p>\n

\u200eThe headmaster also said the school lacks a perimeter fence, which he said has left its property vulnerable to theft. He appealed to partners to support the construction of the fence.<\/p>\n

\u200eThe materials were handed over during a ceremony attended by local government, security, and education officials.<\/p>\n

\u200eYei River County Commissioner Samuel Henry Malimbo commended the UNMISS Chinese Battalion for supporting the school and called for continued cooperation with the county.<\/p>\n

\u200eHe urged UNMISS to consider supporting the construction of the school fence and the provision of a water facility and computers for learners.<\/p>\n

\u200e\u200e\u201cWe appreciate the support from UNMISS, and we continue to call for cooperation in other areas that are important to the people of Yei,\u201d Mr Malimbo said.<\/p>\n

\u200eCol. Dou, representing the UNMISS Chinese Battalion, expressed appreciation for the opportunity to join local authorities and school representatives during the handover.<\/p>\n

\u200ePhilip Taban, Director of Education for Yei River County, thanked the Chinese Battalion for selecting Jigomoni Nursery and Primary School for the support.<\/p>\n

\u200eHe described the school as one of the historic schools in Yei, saying it was established in 1960.<\/p>\n

\u200eTaban said the lack of a fence remains one of the school\u2019s major challenges and appealed to partners and other stakeholders to support efforts to improve the security of the school and its property.<\/p>\n

\u200eThe handover was witnessed by Police Inspector Major General Lujang Kamba and other officials, including the county commissioner, county security adviser, director of education, and the SPLM secretary for Yei River County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
