THE TRUTH ABOUT UNIVERSITY COURSES IN SOUTH SUDAN
Let’s be honest—some of the courses in our universities like Rural Development, Forestry, and many others are simply dead ends. They sound nice during admission, but after graduation you’ll never find a single office or company waiting for you.
What happens instead?
🎓 Graduates of these courses end up storming Nilepet, Ministry of Finance, NRA, or NGOs—jobs that have absolutely NOTHING to do with what they studied.
So why is this happening?
1. Because the system forced people into courses they never wanted.
2. Because many are chasing only "money, not passion or service".
3. Because education has become theory without practice—students leave with papers, not skills.
Meanwhile, South Sudan is crying for food security, forestry management, rural development, and environmental protection—but the very people trained for these fields are abandoned, misdirected, or left unemployed.
This is proof that our education system is "disconnected from reality". We are producing degree holders who don’t fit the market, while the country continues to sink deeper into hunger, poverty, and unemployment.
Until universities and policymakers stop this mismatch, we will keep raising "educated job seekers instead of nation builders".
NB: This is AAkech Akols handwriting 😂😂
