    1 Background

    • The Humanitarian Needs Overview 2017 estimates that 1.7 million children have lost access to education due to conflict and displacement. Current Primary Net Enrolment rate is 42.5% and available data from the Education Cluster in 2016 showed a decrease of 10% of the number of students enrolled at the start of 2016 compared to the start of 2013. Only 31% enrolled at the start of the year were girls and in Greater Upper Nile, the ratio of girls to boys is 6:10. Within the refugee community, approximately 40% of school-aged children are not attending primary, ALP or secondary school. In Maban the recurrent conflict has resulted from constraints to humanitarian access, increased militarisation of children and eroded socio-economic opportunities that have seriously undermined refugee and host community populations' access to basic services, livelihoods opportunities, and capacity of NGO's and CSO's to provide a protective environment for children.
    • Save the Children International (SCI) is a charitable child rights organisation working to secure a world where the rights of all children are recognised and respected. SC has had a working association with South Sudan since its creation as a new state.
    • SCI has made a substantial contribution to raising the quality of education in South Sudan including refugee education in Maban.

The project strengthens school-community structures, school leadership and local education system ensuring provision of inclusive quality basic education to boys and girls.

    • The DANIDA-funded project 'is implemented in Maban and Akobo Counties. Although teachers have been trained in South Sudan's National Professional Standards for Teachers, they have not had practical tools and skills needed to promote Positive Learning Environments.

The ScoC is meant for all teachers. In order to be effective and positively influence the school culture, the principles of the SCoC must be something that all stakeholders in the school and community are familiar with. The Child Friendly version of the SCoC will be a visual tool that could be placed in classrooms and circulated in communities to help explain not only the roles but also the responsiiblities of school managment, teachers and students in seeing to it that schools are safe and protective specaes for learning.
