JUBA, South Sudan — The Central Equatoria State Ministry of General Education and Instruction has suspended Juba Integrated High School’s Kadoro branch over alleged violations, including charging school fees in foreign currency and preventing learners from attending classes without lawful justification.
In Ministerial Order No. 02/2026 dated October 9, caretaker minister Lupai Satimon Andrew ordered the school’s immediate suspension.
“The operations of Juba Integrated High School, Kadoro branch are hereby suspended with immediate effect until further notice,” the order reads.
The ministry accused the school of failing to meet minimum operating standards, preventing learners from attending classes without lawful or substantial justification, and violating directives on the currency used for school fees.
The school management has five calendar days from the date of the order to submit a written commitment and corrective action plan outlining how it will address the alleged violations.
The ministry says it will conduct a follow-up inspection. The school cannot resume operations until the ministry verifies compliance and issues written authorization. Operating without authorization could lead to further administrative or legal action, the order warns.
The order cites the General Education Act, 2012, the National General Education Policy, 2017–2027, and a ministry circular dated September 15, 2022, concerning school fees.
The order does not specify which foreign currency the school allegedly used.
Sudans Post could not reach the school’s management for comment on the suspension and the allegations.
