PART III — COUNTRY PROFILeSAttacks on school students, teachers and othereducation personnelBefore independence, there were a few isolatedattacks on students and education officials by the LRAin Southern Sudan. For instance, in Tambura county,Western Equatoria, in 2010, the LRA killed two stateeducation ministry officials, 1435 and in a separateincident abducted three children between the ages of8 and 15 from schools during raids on villages. 1436 TheLRA also abducted five children from a school in thesame county in February 2011. 1437Several student protests were met with excessive useof force and resulted in arrest, injury and, in one case,death. For instance, at a school in Central Equatoriastate on 28 December 2009, anti-riot police shot andkilled a 16-year-old who was taking part in a demonstrationagainst the non-payment of teachers. 1438 Twopeople, including a teacher, were wounded whenpolice used live ammunition to break up a protest atJuba Day Secondary School over an alleged land-grabof school property in October 2012. 1439Military use of schoolsPrimary and secondary schools were used by armedforces, often with the consent of local authorities,either for temporary accommodation while travelling,or as a base for operations against rebel militia or inresponse to inter-communal violence. Mostly, schoolswere used temporarily but some were used for up tofive years. 1440 According to the Education Cluster, thecost of rehabilitating a primary school after a period ofmilitary use was approximately 200,000 SouthSudanese Pounds (USD 64,500). 1441Between 2011 and 2012, 34 schools were used formilitary purposes, affecting 28,209 learners acrossnine states. 1442 For example, the SPLA was reported tohave used two schools as places to torture suspects in2010. 1443 At Kuerboani Primary School, in Unity state,soldiers occupied the school at night while childrenused the same facilities during the day. UN staffwitnessed children using classrooms where weaponsand grenades were stored. 1444 By December 2012, 15 ofthe 18 schools occupied that year were vacated. 1445Attacks on higher educationMilitary use and looting of Upper Nile University wererecorded during clashes between South Sudanesegovernment forces and a militia group in Malakal inearly 2009. 1446Attacks on education in 2013Despite successful advocacy efforts resulting in anumber of schools being vacated, military use wasconsistently documented throughout the first threequarters of 2013. 1447 Negotiations resulted in thevacating of most schools occupied by the SPLA by theend of 2012; however, the first quarter of 2013 saw arise in incidence, with the SPLA using 16 of the 18schools occupied in Jonglei, Western Bahr el Gazaland Lakes states by the end of March. 1448 During themonth of May, two schools were newly occupied by theSPLA in Jonglei state, though vacated shortly thereafter,and three schools were occupied and vacated byAuxiliary Police in Eastern Equatoria state; while sixschools were vacated in Jonglei, Lakes and WesternBahr el Gazal, seven remained occupied. 1449 Thenumber continued to fluctuate 1450 but, by the end ofSeptember, armed forces were using at least sixschools. 1451 However, on 14 August, the SPLA issued anorder prohibiting its forces from recruiting or usingchildren or occupying or using schools in anymanner. 1452Fighting between ethnic Murle rebels from the SouthSudan Democratic Movement/Army (SSDM/A) and theSPLA in Pibor county, Jonglei state, resulted in thelooting and damage of schools in April and May. 1453Human Rights Watch reported the looting of at leastthree schools and the destruction of classroommaterials; the majority of these actions were said tohave been carried out by the SPLA. Soldiers alsoreportedly destroyed a school in the Labrab area. 1454During the capture of Boma town by SSDM/A rebelsand the subsequent recapture by the SPLA in May, partof an NGO teacher training centre was set on fire andall its contents taken, while a school supported by theNGO was ransacked and destroyed. 1455At Maban refugee camp in Upper Nile state, landmineswere found behind the Darussalam School on 21March and caused the suspension of Child FriendlySpaces activities. 1456184
EDUCATION UNDER ATTACK 2014SUDANMore than 1,000 university students were arrested,more than 15 killed and more than 450 injured in2009-2012, mostly in demonstrations on campus or ineducation-related protests. Many of the injuriesresulted from security forces using excessive force.There were dozens of incidents of attacks on, andmilitary use of, schools. 1457ContextIn Sudan’s western region of Darfur, fighting betweengovernment forces and pro-government militia andrebels over the past decade has left 300,000 peopledead and more than two million displaced, 1458 withschools set on fire and looted and students andteachers targeted by armed groups. 1459Sudan’s protracted civil war between the governmentand southern rebels ended in 2005 with the signing ofthe Comprehensive Peace Agreement, which pavedthe way for South Sudan’s independence in July2011. 1460 However, unresolved secession issues haveled to cross-border violence, particularly in the threedisputed areas of Abyei, Blue Nile and SouthKordofan. 1461Students, teachers, schools and universities havebeen targeted during decades of conflict and instability.The government exercises tight control overhigher education, appointing public university vicechancellorsand determining the curriculum. 1462As of 2011, approximately 72 per cent of adults wereliterate. 1463 In 2009, before the secession of the South,gross enrolment at primary level was 73 per cent 1464and 39 per cent at secondary level. 1465 Tertiary grossenrolment was 6 per cent in 2000. 1466Attacks on schoolsThere were different accounts of how many schoolswere attacked during 2009-2012. According to ArryOrganization for Human Rights and Development, 48schools were destroyed in attacks by governmentforces in South Kordofan between April 2011 andFebruary 2012, but it was not specified if these weretargeted attacks. 1467 Other UN, human rights andmedia reports documented 12 cases of schools oreducation buildings being destroyed, damaged orlooted, including primary and secondary schools anda teacher training institute, in the areas of Darfur,Abyei, Blue Nile and South Kordofan during 2009-2012, but again it was not specified how many weretargeted. 1468According to the UN, three instances of burning,looting and destruction of schools occurred betweenJanuary 2009 and February 2011. 1469 For example,militia attacked a school in Tawila, North Darfur, inSeptember 2010, killing four children who had soughtrefuge there. 1470 The reported number of schoolsbombed or shelled then increased between June 2011and April 2012 as fighting intensified between thegovernment and the rebel Sudan People’s LiberationMovement/Army-North (SPLM/A-N) in Blue Nile andSouth Kordofan, 1471 and aerial bombing of civiliantargets by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) took asignificant toll, 1472 although it has not been verifiedwhether the schools were deliberately targeted. Forexample, in August 2011, an SAF Antonov bomberdropped four bombs on Al Masha Secondary School inKauda 1473 and in February 2012, the SAF destroyed twobuildings of a bible school in the village of Heiban,dropping two bombs into its compound. 1474 Mortarshelling, for which the SPLM-N claimed responsibilityand which the UN criticized as indiscriminate, alsodamaged one school in Kadugli in October 2012. 1475The UN estimated that as of December 2011, 137,900schoolchildren in South Kordofan were missing out oneducation because their schools had been damaged,destroyed or were still dangerous because explosiveremnants of past fighting remained on site, or werebeing used as shelters by armed forces and IDPs.However, it is not specified how many schools weredamaged or destroyed in targeted attacks. 1476Attacks on school students, teachers and othereducation personnelMedia and human rights reports suggest that at least29 school students, two teachers and one headteacher were killed and another three students and ahead teacher’s assistant were wounded in attacks in2009-2012 by rebels, soldiers or unidentified armedmen in the Darfur region, though the motives were notknown in all cases. 1477185
