1 To the General Assembly:
2
3 Noting that the Preamble of the Charter of the United Nations promotes social progress and better
4 standards of life in larger freedom,
5
6 Alarmed by the fact that 72% percent of children in South Sudan, compared to 10% of children
7 globally, do not receive an education because of lack of teachers in South Sudan,
8
9 Concerned that while there are 26,000 teachers in South Sudan, only 4,000 of them are qualified
10 to teach because of the lack of adequate teacher training facilities,
11
12 Emphasizing the trend that an education can equip children for stable employment as adults and
13 that access to a living wage is known to reduce vulnerability to human trafficking,
14
15 The delegation of South Sudan hereby:
16
17 Trusts that by training more teachers, more children will be able to attend school and gain the
18 education needed to have healthier and happier lives,
19
20 Notes that this resolution will not only improve education, but increase the literacy rate, create
21 new jobs, prevent human trafficking of children, and provide stable employment for the children as
22 they grow up,
23
24 Calls upon the United Nations to provide one million dollars to build and create three new public
25 teacher training facilities in South Sudan to increase teacher training so that more teachers are
26 readily available and equipped to educate students.
