PM orders all universities to reopen in capital Khartoum

Sudanese Prime Minister Kamil El-Tayib Idris has instructed the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research to facilitate the reopening of universities in the capital, Khartoum, reports Sudan News Agency.

The directive also mandates action to assess and repair the extensive damage inflicted on university buildings and research centres. The war in Sudan, which erupted in April 2023, has severely impacted the country’s education sector, with many institutions in Khartoum State reportedly destroyed or rendered irreparable.

The prime minister also directed the National Centre for Curricula and Educational Research to integrate lessons into the school curriculum that highlight the importance of strengthening national unity and rejecting hate speech. The authorities have not given a specific date for the reopening of the universities, but said it is a foundational step towards a comprehensive national recovery process.
