    JULIUS NYERERE’S NOTION OF EDUCATION AND ITS RELEVANCE IN SOUTH SUDAN
    (Tangaza University College, 2022-12-10) WOODMAN DAVID, SILVANO JOSEPH
    Julius K. Nyerere’s philosophy of education is one of the most important and widely studied theories of education. In this paper, the South Sudan educational system is enlightening and understood in the light of the philosophy of Nyerere. So this approach is predicated on the informed belief that there are social and historical commonalities between South Sudan and the society of Nyerere’s philosophy. This paper therefore attempts to analyze Nyerere’s theory of education with the view to render salient ideas that can contribute towards the formulation of worthwhile theories of education in the context of South Sudan in the 21 century realities. Therefore, accordingly, Nyerere’s views, namely, ‘education for the self-reliance’ and ‘education for liberation’ are analyzed. As a result, it is evident that the current education in South Sudan is insufficient in several ways. It is therefore, recommended that education in South Sudan should embrace a multidimensional orientation that ensures the liberation of the individual, leading to the achievement of self-reliance. The methodology that, we shall employ in this research proposal, is that it is going to be analytical method which includes library materials like text books, both primary, and secondary materials, internet sources, and article. One thing we should notes, is that the education system of south Sudan trains students theory part in that students while in the field are unable to acquire or else transform the knowledge acquired from schools to practical aspects and it’s on the above view that this paper in light of Nyerere’s philosophy investigates this problem of Euro-centric education that advocates for paper qualification than the practical aspects which will be our emphasis to make the youth participate in the daily today activities since we have few white collar jobs in the society so they should engage themselves in self-sustaining activities and be creative.
