“The Sudanese Teacher: The Key to Renaissance and the Gateway to the Future”
by:Hassan Al-Sir Ahmed
If any country wants to progress and compete among the ranks of nations, the first step is to take care of the teacher. The teacher is the one who shapes minds, instills values, and establishes a scientific, intellectual, and economic renaissance. Sudan, with its natural and human resources, will only achieve its status if it makes the teacher a central focus of its national project.
Inspiring International Experiences
– Japan: After World War II, Japan put education at the top of its priorities and considered the teacher the main pillar. It provided teachers with free housing and healthcare, and raised their social status so that it became every mother’s dream for her son to be a teacher, and it was the wish of every girl that her husband should be a teacher. The result was an industrial and technological renaissance that made Japan a global economic powerhouse.
– Finland: It has made free high-quality education the basis of its progress, and has raised the status of the teacher until it has become one of the most respected professions in society.
– South Korea: It has invested heavily in education and teachers, going from a poor country to one of Asia’s largest economies in a few decades.
Sudan: Between Agriculture and Technology
Sudan has enormous potential in agriculture and could become the world’s food basket if agricultural and technical education is integrated with modern technology.
– Agricultural and Technical Education: Preparing a generation of teachers specialized in agriculture and manufacturing industries will ensure the optimal exploitation of natural resources.
– Technology: The introduction of technology in education will enable the Sudanese teacher to keep pace with the times and transfer modern knowledge to students.
Appeal to the Prime Minister:
Today’s Sudanese teacher needs:
– His salary should be one of the highest in the country, in appreciation of his pivotal role.
– Providing free housing and treatment to all those who hold the status of a teacher, as in the experience of Japan.
– Providing a comfortable work environment and continuous support through training and rehabilitation.
Conclusion
If this interest is realized, the Sudanese teacher will become a symbol of the renaissance, and every mother will wish for her son to be a teacher, and every girl will wish for her husband to be a teacher. The teacher is not just an employee, but the maker of the future, the leader of the renaissance, and the educator of generations.
