At I CAN South Sudan (ICSS), we are committed to improving access to quality education by supporting schools with retention activities that create a safe and inclusive learning environment for all pupils. Our goal is to reduce school dropouts by addressing the challenges that hinder children from completing their education. Through these initiatives, we help schools strengthen their capacity to support learners academically, socially, and emotionally, ensuring that every child—regardless of background—has the opportunity to stay in school and succeed.

To build teachers’ capacity, ICSS provides specialized training on how to create a conducive learning environment for children with disabilities. These sessions equip teachers with the knowledge and skills to use inclusive teaching methods, adapt classroom materials, and promote understanding among all learners. By fostering inclusive education, ICSS ensures that children with disabilities are not left behind but are instead encouraged to participate fully and reach their potential alongside their peers.

In addition, ICSS implements a Gender Equality Education Program in schools to promote equal opportunities for both boys and girls. This program helps teachers and students understand the importance of gender balance in education and encourages girls to pursue their academic goals without barriers. To further strengthen the education system, ICSS also provides ICT training for teachers, enabling them to integrate technology into their teaching methods and improve classroom engagement. Through these combined efforts, ICSS is helping to build a more inclusive, equitable, and progressive education environment in South Sudan.
