General Education in Sudan

General Education in Sudan, 2008

Education is not neutral, it is the picture and reflection of the State. Economic, social and political changes that occur in specific society influence education because educational policies in specific time express and show the aim of strata and class that rules the society.1 The time we live is the time of current revolution of science and technology, boom of knowledge and globalization where knowledge is not restricted by boarders throughout the five continents and where knowledge is not subjected to any kinds of permission.2 One of the sequences of the revolution of science and technology is the communication revolution that changed the world into one small village where any researcher throughout the world is entitled to and has access to recent researches in his field.3 Under this situation, the issue of education in Sudan jumps to the surface. Sad realities prevail when education in Sudan is considered: -One of these realities is that over 50% of Sudanese children who are entitled to education are not in schools.4 -High percentages of Students dropout. It is estimated that in 1984 that the percentages of dropout reached 40%. this percentage increased due to retreat of the state from providing free education since 1992. -Students who are enrolled in schools lacked trained teachers, accurate curriculums basic instruments, let alone computers.6 -Curriculum is lagged behind and suffers weakness and is inadaptable to new concepts of scientific technological revolution. It lacks awareness with issues such as Human Rights, woman status and environment.7 Curriculum is centered around Arabicization and Islamization that neglect African component of Sudanese culture, which threat the Sudanese national unity.8 It is worth to mention that this curriculum was not changed even after Nivasha Peace Agreement (CPA). -Curriculum does not encourage creativity as it depends of reciting by hearts, not thinking or development of mental abilities. -Current curriculum in Sudan is very poor as it adopted integration methods where three disciplines such as geography, history and science are collected together in one discipline known as Man and the world -Students have to pay for books, electricity, water, chalk and examinations. That led to broadening the gap between the haves and haves not, as those who do not pay will not be able to continue their studies
