DJF values the pivotal role of education in building societies. It is our belief that South Sudan can emerge from viscous cycles of conflict into a prosperous, modern state through investment in education. We encourage the use of media in promoting new technology and positive learning.

According to the 5^th Sudan Population and Housing Census, 2008, only 26.8% of the South Sudan population had ever gone to school, and 6.6% of population above 15 years of age had acquired education beyond secondary level.

Many children of school-going age are out of school although basic education is free. More so, many private and public schools have sprung up in the country in the fight against illiteracy.
