Secondary students in Renk County, Upper Nile State will sit examinations in Melut County due to ongoing insecurity, a local education official said.

Renk County secondary education director Amor Achan Goujak told Radio Tamazuj Tuesday that he has notified the Secretariat of Examinations about the transfer to Melut of 223 eligible candidates from 12 secondary schools.

The majority of Renk’s secondary students fled their homes with their parents following rebel attacks.
