AFRICA/SOUTH SUDAN - The Catholic University of Southern Sudan: an important reality for the newborn state

Juba (Agenzia Fides) - The Catholic University of Southern Sudan attracts an increasing number of students due to the quality of its teaching. This is what Richard Mirigga, academic Institute administrator told Radio Bakhita, according to which this year his office has received over 600 registrations, but only managed to register 219 new students due to lack of space.
The Catholic University is one of the few private institutions that offers degree courses to young men and women in the newborn state (July 9, 2011), in the two campuses in Juba and Wau. In addition to local students also some Ugandans are enrolled at the Catholic University in South Sudan. The academic principle said that the Catholic university is about to get a piece of land on which to build its permanent office in Juba, thus increasing the available spaces for students. The Catholic University has 407 students enrolled in Economics in Juba. The first 29 graduates will obtain their university degree next year. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 29/08/2011)
