SSD 28 - SUPPORT FOR KOOTH COMBONI KINDERGARTEN
Project Location
Cueibet is located in Lakes State, which has a very low level of education, the worst of all districts in a country that has an 85% illiteracy rate and where girls have the least chance of finishing school.
Project description
Kooth Comboni is a kindergarten located in the premises of the Teacher Training College of the Jesuit community. The main objective of this school is to offer quality education and human training to the young people of the Dinka Gok community in which we live, as well as to provide an opportunity for the College's student teachers to practise teaching.
The kindergarten started in 2020. The school does not have classrooms but two temporal shelters to accommodate 150 children. The age of children is 4-5 years old. Thanks to the good heart of many people we are going to start the construction of a permanent building by 2025.
The education for the kids is something new in South Sudan, the teachers of the kindergarten are using the same way of teaching in primary students with the kids which is heavy for their age and not effective. So we are thinking of buying games, color, paper and different materials to use them for teaching, The teaching staff is composed by four teachers 2 female and two male. We aim to train the teachers so to acquire skills and improve their teaching methodology.
Children are attracted by participating in different activities and thus help them to learn better and to love the school. The school has essential facilities like a kitchen, a borehole, two containers that operate as stores and two pit latrines. With the help of two organizations, we are able to offer a meal to the children every day and the community contributes with firewood for cooking. We have two cooks and one cleaner.
Objectives
- To ensure that the teachers are having proper training and be able to teach the kids through a activities and games so they will work better and be happy of being a kindergarten teacher.
- To assure a fair incentive for the teachers
