South Sudan history curriculum

I think South Sudan should take evolutionary approach in developing history curriculum. The current history curriculum had a positive impact and helped South Sudan became and maintains independence. However, what is required for the good future of South Sudan? I believe as a teacher, that my dear colleagues who are history teachers are giving more positive explanations beyond the syllabus in the class. They are counseling and drawing students’ attention to look at positive impacts to avoid the negative parts of ideas and beliefs. Students may develop negative ideas from home or in the community. Yet, the recent political issues and conflicts are contradicting with what they are learning at school. Therefore, we need to check and select approaches that enlighten hearts, minds, and sights, to reduce and prevent the cause of problems. We need to live as one nation with different cultural diversity. “We can't teach everything in history, because there's not enough time. Therefore we pick out something to teach about, and leave out others” (Barton, 2014). There are a lot of history many events taking place in S. Sudan, we select some to be taught in primary, and see the outcome after period of time, evaluate and think what changes and addition are needed.  By doing so, we are improving different approaches.   ​
