The UK is the leading donor in education services to the people of South Sudan. Through the Girls’ Education South Sudan Programme, the UK supports over 3,500 schools to deliver basic education, including literacy, and is helping to keep up to a quarter of a million girls in class. Ensuring the continuity of education for the children of South Sudan will build the essential foundations for future peace and ensure that education is not lost to an entire generation.
