Nearly three years of ongoing conflict in Sudan have resulted in a severe disruption to education, leaving over eight million children out of school for nearly 500 days. The situation in Khartoum and other regions has deteriorated, with many areas becoming inaccessible due to persistent fighting.
Humanitarian organizations have expressed grave concerns about the long-term consequences of this educational blockade, which not only deprives children of their right to education but also exacerbates the socioeconomic difficulties faced by families.
Impact of the Conflict on Education
- Widespread closure of schools across the country.
- Inaccessibility in many regions due to ongoing violence.
- Disruption of basic educational services, hindering children’s development.
- Increased vulnerability of children deprived of learning opportunities.
Challenges to Restoring Education
- Security concerns preventing the safe reopening of schools.
- Damaged infrastructure needing urgent repair and rehabilitation.
- Limited humanitarian access complicating aid delivery.
- Need for international support and peace efforts to stabilize the region.
International NGOs emphasize the urgent need for peace and increased support to enable children to safely return to their education. The crisis underscores the devastating effects of civil war on communities and the critical importance of protecting education during times of conflict.
