The Central Equatoria State Ministry of General Education and Instruction has suspended Juba Integrated High School\u2019s Kadoro branch over alleged violations of education standards, including charging school fees in foreign currency and preventing learners from attending classes without lawful justification.<\/p>\n

In Ministerial Order No. 02\/2026 dated October 9, 2026, caretaker minister Lupai Satimon Andrew directed the school to suspend its operations immediately until further notice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe operations of Juba Integrated High School, Kadoro branch, are hereby suspended with immediate effect until further notice,\u201d the order reads.<\/p>\n

The ministry accused the school of failing to meet minimum operating standards and violating directives governing the currency used for school fees. It also alleged that learners had been prevented from attending classes without lawful or substantial justification.<\/p>\n

Under the order, the school management has five calendar days from the date of issuance to submit a written commitment and corrective action plan explaining how it intends to address the alleged violations.<\/p>\n

The ministry said it would conduct a follow-up inspection to establish whether the school had complied with the required standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe school cannot resume operations until the ministry verifies compliance and issues written authorisation,\u201d the order states.<\/p>\n

It further warned that operating without official authorisation could result in additional administrative or legal action.<\/p>\n

The order cites the General Education Act, 2012, the National General Education Policy 2017\u20132027, and a ministry circular dated September 15, 2022, concerning school fees.<\/p>\n

South Sudan\u2019s Ministry of General Education and Instruction is responsible for setting education standards, regulating schools and conducting inspections to assess compliance with national education requirements. The ministry\u2019s stated objectives include expanding equitable access to education and improving the quality of learning through school inspection and accountability measures.<\/p>\n

The suspension comes amid efforts to enforce education regulations and ensure that schools operate in accordance with national laws and policies.<\/p>\n

The order does not specify which foreign currency the school allegedly used for fees. The allegations have not been independently verified, and the school management\u2019s response was not included in the published report.<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s Kadoro branch will remain closed until the ministry confirms compliance and grants written permission for operations to resume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
