Tertiary Education in Sudan: Empowering Vocational Institutions in the Post War Era

Author(s) Dr. Elhafiz Mohammed Ahmed Elwaly

Abstract This article outlines key steps for vocational training institutions while supporting the concept of redefining higher education in Sudanese society to meet the challenges of the new socio-economic reality under post-war conditions. Over the past few decades in Sudan, vocational disciplines have received little attention and have not been integrated into the tertiary education system. Consequently, there exists a glaring gap between the practical needs of the job market and the qualifications possessed by university graduates. This gap, complemented by other socio-economic challenges, may in part explain the growing youth unemployment rate, coupled with educated youth migrating legally and illegally to other countries in search of better prospects. This amateur migration leads to a serious threat for the development of vocational skills needed in Sudan, which is critical for the post-war reconstruction of the country. This paper examines the foundational consequences of this educational gap and shifts focus to the reorientation of the educational system that primarily emphasizes vocational training for higher learning institutions.
