Khartoum Schools Reopen Amid Health and Living Crises

Mashawir – Reports

Federal Minister of Education, Al-Tihami Al-Zein Hajar, rang the morning assembly bell at Al-Nuba Secondary School for Girls, marking the start of the academic year in Khartoum State.

The reopening of schools comes under extremely difficult conditions, with widespread outbreaks of fevers—particularly malaria and dengue—in the capital at a time when healthcare is almost nonexistent. Added to this are the dangers of war remnants, a transportation crisis due to fuel shortages, and families’ depleted financial savings.

Hajar stressed that the start of the school year in Khartoum sends a message to the world that the city is Sudan’s capital and symbol of sovereignty. It affirms that the flame of education will not be extinguished and that the generation of dignity and the people of Sudan remain unbroken and unyielding.

He also highlighted the sacrifices made by the army and allied forces, backed by the people, noting that the continuation of education represents a further step in consolidating the victories achieved on multiple fronts.

The Minister pledged to resolve all challenges facing the academic year in cooperation with the state ministry, ensuring that all students in Khartoum return to their classrooms.

He pointed out that 5,000 new teaching posts have already been approved and announced, praising both local initiatives and official efforts in supporting the educational process.
