First[edit]

Yay! Im the first on the talk page. Ok for your citations, the class sent out an email telling us to not have them repeat and for it to show only once. I believe one of the class ambassadors can help you on that. The content is great, covers all aspects of the issue. Opened my eyes. However some statement are a little opinionated or need a citation like the sentence, “South Sudan has the worst gender equality in education in the world.” You have many blue links which is good as well as bottom links. Images would definitely enhance the page.Maybe some graphs depicting the actual statistics or images showing the condition of these “schools”. If I were to use the Wikipedia guideline I would give you an 8 for comprehensiveness, 4 for Sourcing, 3 for Neutrality, 3 for Readability, 1 for Formatting and 0 for illustrations. This is a really good start and interesting topic.

Thank you for the feedback. I will add citations for those sentences like you mentioned, because I definitely read that directly in several articles that South Sudan is considered to have the worst gender equality in schools. I will definitely look into adding images that could enhance the topic!

Integrating this article with other related articles[edit]

The "main" Education in South Sudan article could do with a brief section about inequalities -basically a brief summary of this article. That would integrate it far better than just a simple link in the "See also" list.

BTW Having "lots of blue links" is not a good thing if those links are trivial or irrelevant. Ordinary words such as "child" or "independence" really do not need to be linked. Links to the same articles should not be repeated unnecessarily. Too much blue actually reduces the readability of an article. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:43, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Illustrations for this article[edit]

Take a look at Commons:Category:Education in South Sudan and it's sub-categories for suitable images for this article. If you need help adding images to the page, you know where to find me. (I'm almost off to bed now, I'll be back at about 7:00 (UTC) tomorrow, 24 April.) Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:55, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Urban-rural inequalities[edit]

The article doesn't have much information about differences between schools in the cities and larger towns versus those in small isolated villages. Perhaps it may be a useful line of future development? Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 20:04, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Broad/unsubstantiated claim[edit]

In the "History of Education in South Sudan" section, the closing sentence includes a broad statement--that the country had "some of the worst human development indicators in the world."--and the corresponding citation doesn't support that. Taking out the "worst" and finding a source that lists the stated human development indicators would improve the article. Cpm5 (talk) 21:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
