The State Ministry of Education set up broad investigations after 40 girls were reported to be impregnated in various Counties hence causing more school dropouts. While speaking to the press, the Director General for Education Kangor Deng Kangor said, “three teachers have been dismissed and four suspended on allegations of impregnating school girls in the State.” He explained that, “During the investigations especially in Rumbek East County, we managed to suspended two teachers who impregnated 2 girls, we had enough evidence. The other one is from Awerial County - a deputy headmaster, he impregnated his own daughter from school – there are also two teachers from Rumbek East County we had dismissed – all those dismissed are 3 as well as four others on suspension and if they are found guilty, they will be dismissed also – there is no joke.” He said that the Ministry of Education will not allow such teachers to continue teaching in any school in the State because they have flawed teaching ethics. Kangor said that, “I sent board of Directorate member from the Director of General of Education and the Director of Equality promotion to investigate these claims. They confirmed these allegations and with the recommendation from the headmaster and from the County inspectors from the County Directors of Education office, I appended my signature to facilitate their dismissal.” He advised all sectors responsible for education in the State to help the Ministry of Education to uphold the girl child rights in the community. Kangor revealed that his office is preparing a list of names of the teachers involved impregnating girls in different schools to be published over the media so that South Sudan people know and to avoid tricking people again in other states of south Sudan. This is the first time Lakes State Ministry of Education is dismissing teachers involved in impregnating school girls.
