In a statement yesterday, the Sudanese Teachers Committee confirmed, following the launching of the first Sudanese Diploma examination paper for high school students in 2023, that the holding of examinations in these circumstances and in this way would threaten the integrity of the social forgetfulness and the prestige and prestige of the Sudanese Secondary Certificate, as well as the catastrophic effects it will have.
The Minister of Education, Ahmed Khalifa, said earlier that students who were unable to sit these exams had another chance in March at exams to be held for secondary students for this years instalment.
The Teachers Committee said the proportion of those sitting exams this year is less than 50% of the enrolled students. In her statement, she stated that 25% of those sitting the examinations had registered absenteeism on the first day of the examinations and noted that 13 thousand students had been denied access to examinations in Chad because of the N Djamena authorities refusal to allow them.
According to the Ministry of Education, 2023 more than 343 thousand students are scheduled to take the postponed examinations, about 70% of the countrys approximately 500 thousand enrolled students, but this number may be reduced by the fall of thousands of seating numbers and the postponement of examinations in the southern and western Kordofan states. According to the Ministry of Educations statistics, 157 thousand were denied access to secondary school examinations because of war.
The Committee criticized the poor coordination that accompanied the preparation of the examination registry and stated that it had led to the change of one of Saudi Arabias examination centres hours before the first examination session, and that the weak arrangements and their coordination had also shifted the time of the certificate examination from its known timing.
In press statements to the newspaper "Middle East", Al-Baqer said that large numbers of students arriving in Omdurman had not received seating numbers and might not be allowed to take part in the examinations, despite previous promises from the Ministry to address the problem.
The Government bore full responsibility for any consequence of insisting on holding examinations without taking safety measures, which were dangerous for students and teachers, and for the Sudan after holding them, he added.
The spokesman for the Teachers Union condemned the fact that RSF had prevented large numbers of students wishing to take exams from leaving their areas of control, and said: "This is a crime that finds us all guilty."
