Dear Lim Donato
Despite the fact that I did not pass through any of these magnificent schools because my education had been entirely in the North, I can almost write about the history of each of these schools. Rumbek, the first government secondary school, opened its doors to students in 1946. It gave birth to southern leaders like William Deng, Hillary Paul Logali, Abel Alier, Joseph Ukel Garang, Richard Hassan, Josephb Lagu, Matthew Obur, Bashir Abbadi, Arthur Aquin, Arthur Mohmmed Said, , Justin Yac Arop, Danstun Wai, Brigadier Emmnuel Abbour, Alison Magai, John Garang de Mabior, and many others. Juba Commercial was established as a full secondary school in 1951 and produced many southern leadership, prominent among them, Elijah Malok, Christopher Akonon and many others.
As to junior high schools like Bussere, Attar, Loka, Tonj, Kuajok, Opari, known at that time as intermediate schools, were all missionary schools. In fact, most of the education in the South was carried on and provided by the missionaries, particularly the Catholic Mission of the Verona Fathers.
Mayan Abun, Malek, Nymllel and many others were elementary schools for girls and boys. These schools (elementary and intermediiate) were originally missionary school confiscated by government at the beginning of the so-called independence. When the government took over, the girls' sectionns disappeared. Also some of the intermediate schools were seminaries such as Opari, Bussare (St Anthony) established to train indeginous priests. There is a lot that can be talked about these schools, but I am not the right person to write about them.
There is already a pressure on the GOSS to revive these schools, and according to my information, reconstruction is underway. In fact, reconstruction began during the war time and before the signature of the CPA. In any case, thank you for bringing up this important subject. Most of the present southern leadership went to these schools and I do not believe they would forget their roots.
