Sudanese Students. .. Uncertain Future

By: Ali Noor

School children and university students who have been exposed to the horrors of war in Khartoum and other areas are now at risk of falling into a void that will impact the dreams and future of an entire generation.
If the war continues, no child will be able to return to school in the coming months, leaving them vulnerable and exposed to immediate and long-term danger.
As estimated, 19 million children are out of school as fighting enters its seven months.
According to UNICEF, one in every three children lost access to school due to increased violence and insecurity in their region. Meanwhile, over 5.5 million children who reside in areas less impacted by the war are waiting for local authorities to confirm whether and when classrooms can be reopened.
UNICEF concluded in a recent report that Sudan is on the brink of becoming home to the worst education crisis in the world.
