Flooded Classrooms in Morobo Renew Calls for School Repairs
Reporting from Rodo’ba Primary School highlights the gap between continued learning and a safe place to study.
MOROBO — Pupils at Rodo’ba Primary School are reportedly continuing lessons in flooded classrooms amid deteriorating mud walls, according to Eye Radio. The school is in Gulumbi Payam in Morobo County, Central Equatoria.
The report describes conditions that raise concerns about the learning environment and the safety of the buildings. It also recalls earlier local appeals over school infrastructure. SSP has not conducted an engineering inspection, verified the date of every photograph or established a current attendance figure.
Continuing classes does not answer whether a structure is safe. A competent assessment should identify any rooms that require closure, temporary teaching space and the repairs needed before normal use resumes. This report does not independently certify the buildings as safe or unsafe.
The funding question also needs a school-specific answer. A pledge made for another school cannot automatically be counted as support allocated or delivered to Rodo’ba. Clear records should identify which institution is covered, the amount released and the work completed.
For families, the immediate issue is whether children can continue learning without avoidable exposure to damaged premises. For authorities, publishing the assessment and a practical repair schedule would make responsibility and progress visible.
The next reporting priorities are a current response from education officials, the condition assessment and the plan for temporary learning arrangements or rehabilitation. Until those are available, the published account establishes a serious concern requiring action rather than a completed survey of every school in the county.
