We also pray for the innocent victims of our people who were unjustly killed. May Allah grant swift recovery to the wounded who fought to defend Sudan\u2019s pride and unity. We extend our condolences to all those oppressed during this catastrophic war, a conflict that has shattered our nation without regard for the sanctity of war itself.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">War, though destructive, has historically been viewed as a human and social phenomenon with noble aspects when fought for legitimate causes\u2014victory or martyrdom. It traditionally upholds ethical principles, including treating prisoners humanely, sparing women, the elderly, and the innocent, and avoiding unnecessary destruction of crops or infrastructure. However, what has transpired in Sudan does not reflect these values. Instead, we have witnessed atrocities: mistreatment of prisoners, assaults on women, the killing of the elderly, and widespread destruction. These acts betray the essence of war as a dignified struggle for just causes.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">A Nation Rebuilt by Its People<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Strong nations are built by honorable and committed citizens who understand the value of their homeland and the sanctity of its soil. To build a strong Sudanese state, we must first distinguish between the good and the corrupt, ensuring that only the righteous lead our efforts.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">A Vision for Education Reform<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The cornerstone of Sudan\u2019s future lies in education. We must:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">1. Mandate Public Education: Implement compulsory, state-supervised public education, and halt private education in the public sector. The government must develop scientific, objective curricula, ensure proper teaching methods, and create conducive learning environments.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">2. Enhance Teacher Training: Prepare skilled and ethical educators to nurture the next generation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">3. Adopt Global Best Practices: Learn from countries that have successfully developed their public education systems.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">4. Invest Heavily in Education: Allocate at least $10 billion annually to public education, focusing on schools, teacher training, textbooks, and student welfare.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">A robust public education system is the foundation for cultivating competent, patriotic citizens. This requires long-term strategic planning, with a 30-year vision extending to 2050. From kindergarten to university, the government must ensure access to quality education and provide students with research resources to excel.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Addressing Private Education<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The proliferation of private schools and universities has compromised education quality. Many private institutions prioritize profit over pedagogy, leading to poorly prepared graduates who lack scientific capabilities and national identity. This issue was evident in the recent youth uprisings, where demands for freedom, justice, and equality were driven by legitimate grievances but lacked alignment with Sudanese cultural values.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">To address this, the state must:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Regulate private education and limit the opening of new universities.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Align higher education with national needs, ensuring that academic programs match labor market demands.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Strengthen vocational and technical training centers to support agricultural and industrial development.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The Role of Government in Education<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The state has largely withdrawn from funding public education, leaving it in the hands of private entities. This neglect has produced generations disconnected from Sudanese values and lacking scientific and cultural depth. Reforming education requires acknowledging past mistakes and committing to systemic change.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Values Before Structures<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The journey to a stronger Sudan begins with rebuilding values before infrastructure. Education, infused with national pride and guided by ethical principles, must be the bedrock of our reconstruction efforts. Only then can we foster a generation capable of driving Sudan toward peace, security, and prosperity.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">May Allah guide and support us.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Peace be upon those who follow the guidance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Abu Bakr Al-Sharif In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
