Some parents in the South Sudan capital Juba say extremely expensive school fees -- along with a deteriorating economy, including delays in paying salaries -- forces parents to keep their children home from school. Some parents say both private and public schools have upped their fees, making it difficult for government employees to enroll their kids in schools. Viola Elias reports for VOA from Juba.
