    Sep 1 2025

    In Part 2 of this Spark It Podcast episode, Patrick Chandiga Justine sheds light on how South Sudan’s education crisis ties directly to peace, politics, and the nation’s future. With millions of children out of school, underpaid teachers, and fragile infrastructure, the system struggles to prepare future leaders. Patrick explains why peace is the foundation for any real reform and highlights efforts like Girls’ Education South Sudan (GESS). He calls for government investment, teacher training, and global support while urging students to keep hope alive. Education, he argues, is not just a right—it’s South Sudan’s greatest resource and pathway to change.

  • The Spark It Podcast EP 18 Pt. 1: South Sudan's Education Crisis │Patrick Chandiga Justine
    Aug 31 2025

    In this episode of The Spark It Podcast, we dive into South Sudan’s deepening education crisis with Patrick Chandiga Justine, a South Sudanese refugee and founder of CECI Uganda, JobsToApply, and WANII. With over 2 million children out of school and literacy rates below 35%, the country faces a significant educational crisis. Girls are the most affected, as 3 out of 4 remain out of school, and many face early pregnancies. Patrick shares his personal story of waiting 7.5 years to continue his education, while exposing structural neglect, underfunded schools, and teachers forced to work at gunpoint. This is not just about classrooms, it’s about a nation’s future. Listen in for powerful insights and hope.
