My goals when I return to South Sudan

When I return to South Sudan, I would like to promote quality education that will enable the students to make sense of their own learning and make my beloved mother land a better place to live in. That is possible by reaching out to a thousand future leaders of South Sudan through serving in the education sector at a higher institution level of learning as well as in the grass root level. I would like to be a voice for the voiceless especially the marginalized groups like girl child and women. Serving in the education sector en-campuses a lot of activities right from involving in the curriculum review, serving as a lecturer, teacher trainer, a mentor to mention but a few.

            I really learned a lot of valuable lessons from all the courses I took from Indiana University. In deed words cannot express it at all but my actions in the field will speak better. Never the less I learned that education is the key to almost all aspects of life. So in order to produce a quality work force, education should be designed to meet the needs of the society. Secondly, I learned the importance of teaching to learn not teaching to pass examination. Being a teacher, I will make sure that I work collaboratively with my students to support their learning as our professors did. This will involve the use of various teaching strategies and activities that brings the real world to the students in order to prepare them to face the real world in which they live in.  I believe that together we stand and make South Sudan a better place.
