South Sudan has closed all schools for two weeks due to heat wave that caused some students to collapse. Deputy Education Minister Martin Tako Moi said "an average of 12 students had been collapsing in Juba city every day." Most schools in South Sudan don't have electricity that could power cooling systems and have makeshift structures made with iron sheets.
