School children in South Sudan’s Torit municipality of Eastern Equatoria State have petitioned the government demanding that the Ministry of General Education and Instruction include environmental education in the school curriculum for primary and secondary schools.
According to them, environmental education will increase awareness about climate change and environmental issues and their roles as actors of change for a clean and safe environment in the country.
The petition was read last Friday, 22nd January at the Fr. Saturlino Ohure Mausoleum during the commemoration of World’s Children Day 2020 under the theme A safe environment for a better future.
