A small passenger plane has crashed in South Sudan killing all on board, the country's civil aviation authority (SSCAA) said, BBC reported. 

Officials have sent a team to the crash site for investigations but initial reports suggested the aircraft may have come down "due to adverse weather conditions, particularly low visibility", the SSCAA added in a statement.

The plane crashed about 20km (12 miles) south-west of the capital, Juba, on Monday morning. It took off from Yei at 09:15 local time ( 07:15 GMT) and air traffic control lost contact about 30 minutes into the flight to the capital.

The new academic session is beginning today, Baisakh 15. The school calendar was adjusted as per the government's decision.

The government had reminded the schools to begin a new academic session from today, breaking the hurried trend of school enrollment in the very beginning of Baisakh. There was neither adequate gap nor annual exam result prepared before initiating a new session from the first week of Baisakh month. 

The government, therefore, asked the schools to adjust some days for the new session also taking into account the shortage of fuel supply. 

However, some local levels have already enrolled students.

Similarly, the government had asked the private schools to return the children's fee if they imposed it ignoring the rule. The schools were reminded of the provision of a fee determination directive, 2072 so that their guardians would not be forced to pay more. 

It is worth noting that the Supreme Court had issued an order to not launch annual school enrolment if the result of the previous session was not published and original certificates prepared and handed over to students. 

A single bench of Justice Balkrishna Dhakal had issued the order. 

The academic session used to begin just a day after the New Year, Baisakh 2.

In the order, the schools were asked to ensure proper time arrangement of exam results, educational sessions and certificate distribution.
