The need for education in Sudan compatible with the demands of the times
Education: an investment for the future or a burden for the present?
On January 24 each year, the world celebrates the International Day of Education, highlighting its central role in building nations and developing societies. In Sudan, this day raises questions about the extent to which our education system is keeping pace with the demands of the times and is it capable of providing future generations with the skills and knowledge needed to face the challenges of the future ?
The Sudanese education system suffers from many challenges, including lack of modernization. School curricula are still based on memorization and rote learning and do not pay enough attention to critical thinking, creativity and teamwork, as well as a lack of resources. Schools suffer from a lack of books, laboratories and labs, limiting opportunities for effective learning. In addition to the low level of teachers, the education sector suffers from a shortage of qualified teachers, which negatively affects the quality of education and inequalities. . Not everyone has equal access to good educational opportunities. Children in rural areas and displaced people suffer from a lack of infrastructure. Educational.
When we compare the Sudanese education system with the effective education systems of other countries, we notice a big difference in many aspects. In these countries, the emphasis is on equipping students with skills needed for the job market, such as critical thinking, problem solving, and teamwork. Modern technology is used in the educational process, which makes learning more attractive and effective. encouraging partnerships between the public and private sectors to develop education and the need to evaluate the performance of students and teachers to constantly improve the quality of education.
The state alone cannot improve the education system, but civil society and the private sector must play an effective role. Civil society can help raise awareness in society about the importance of education through awareness and education campaigns, supporting schools by providing donations and educational materials, and developing programs by involving experts and specialists in program development.
As for the private sector, it can help create more private schools to provide better educational options, provide scholarships to support gifted and talented students, and train teachers to develop their capabilities and skills.
Policymakers must reform and modernize school curricula to adapt to the demands of the times, emphasizing skills and critical thinking, and develop the infrastructure of schools. Necessary resources must be provided to develop schools, including books, laboratories and laboratories, and investments must be made in teacher training and capacity development, while encouraging partnership between the public and private sectors to develop education, while providing educational opportunities to all, must work to provide equal educational opportunities to all, regardless of gender, race or place of residence.
Education is an investment in the future and it is the only way to achieve sustainable development. Everyone must work together to improve the education system in Sudan and provide future generations with the skills and knowledge that will enable them to build a better future.
