There is a current crisis of need for education in South Sudan, after its first ever independence in the year 2011. Since the country emancipated itself from the oppressive regime of the North (Sudan), no much has been done in the education sector. Students who used to study at the Universities in Khartoum, came to the South, only to find that there was no program ready to absorb them.
The University of Juba, has been already in crises, that lead to its closure for almost seven months (Sudan Tribune, October 18th 2011). There were no established structures, that would facilitate a smooth transition of students from the North to the South.
