The chances according to Director General are granted by the Malaysian PETRONAS oil company that works in the oil fields in South Sudan through its education programs.

Director General, Ustaz Leau Kueth Nhial said, “The ministry is pleased to inform all the students who sat for South Sudan School certificates that the Government of Malaysia has sponsorship programs through PETRONAS Education department.”

Mr. Kueth said that only science students who have passed with percentage of 80% are allowed to compete.

“Students with South Sudan School Certificates are welcomed to apply, especially science students. They should have passed mathematics, physics, chemistry and other relevant subjects,” Kueth said.

However, people have already shown a lot of frustrations in the ways sponsorships are awarded to students since the current government came to power.

Deng Gatbel said, “Our officials do not give chances to citizens in a better way. Many have applied for sponsorships announce by the same government but they take nobody but their sons and their cousins to study those courses abroad. Our leaders like good things only for themselves these are golden chances but they can be easily corrupted.”

Peter James who dropped out from the university after South Sudan’s separation leaving his learning place in Khartoum complained that children of the poor are left loitering in the streets without education pointing his fingers to the leaders that they should share the cake equally with the poor.

“Can you image that the children of the poor are the ones without good schools. And surely they are the ones without jobs. They are always left out in any competitions. There are no fair competitions in this country. Students will apply but sons and daughters our leaders are always the qualified ones,” Peter said.

The applicants according to the official should be South Sudanese in the age bracket of 17 – 23 years.

The Director General added that only students who sat in 2011, 2012 and 2013 with good command of written and spoken English language should come to the ministry of education to fill the admission forms that would allow them to study in Malaysia.

The admission will end on November 20 and needs applicants that are not married and should bring with them copies of their documents.

Ustaz Kueth revealed that seven areas of specialization that South Sudanese will study in while in Malaysia include chemistry engineering, civil engineering, Tech- Petroleum geosciences, Tech- information and communications technology and others.
