He revealed that the school was founded three years ago by Father Henry Morbe, one of the church prominent leaders. 

 “Education is a key to all things because all professions exist because of education, without education we will never progress, without a good society in South Sudan we will have a poor nation,” Mulla narrated.

Father Frudensio Sule of St. Joseph Parish said that young generations should be educated, while calling on the government to address education related challenges to help learning run efficiently across the country.

“Education is important and it is equally important that all of us participate, you need to participate in this education fully,” said Sule.
