in South Korea, where South Sudan has commended its inclusion in Korea’s Global Korea Scholarship programme, describing the initiative as an important opportunity to expand access to quality education for South Sudanese students. Senior Presidential Envoy on Special Programs, Adut Kiir, made the remarks during a meeting with the President of South Korea’s National Institute for International Education, Han Sangshin. Adut urges increased support for women’s literacy, teacher development, research, professional training and artificial intelligence education as she proposes a government-sponsored programme that could enable 1,500 South Sudanese students to pursue secondary education in South Korea, building on her office’s existing scholarship programme for 1,500 orphans and vulnerable children in South Sudan. She said expanded educational cooperation would help strengthen the country’s human resource capacity and contribute to long-term national development.
