March 28, 2011 (BENTIU) - Sudan School Certificate examinations for
the academic year 2011 started yesterday in Unity state with about
1,482 students’ sitting the exam on March 28.
The state minister of education Them Kuol Machar told Sudan Tribune on
Monday that, all arrangements had been successfully completed for the
conduct of examinations in the town and other counties within the
state.
He added that there have been 10 examination centers, one in Parieng
County, one in Abiemhnom County, two from Rubkotna County and six were
within Bentiu town. He said 318 girls and 1164 boys took the exam this
year.
Machar affirmed his ministry’s commitment to follow up the necessary
implementation arrangements to conduct the exams in cooperation with
ministry of education in the government of South Sudan.
There are two language options in the exam. Students can choose
between English and Arabic. In South Sudan most students prepare for
the exam in English. Those who recently returned from the South from
the North normally choose Arabic.
English became an official language of Sudan since a 2005 North-South
peace deal. The peace agreement gave the South the option to separate
from the North in a referendum, which they voted for by a overwhelming
majority.
South Sudan’s education system is recovering after decades of
conflict. In July the South is due to officially secede from the
North.
