The Impact of COVID-19 on Sudanese Higher Education System
Nuha Hassan Elmubasher Eltayib, Nizar Khalil Abubaker Suliman
Abstract: The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created significant challenges for the Sudanese higher education community. Through a desktop analysis leveraging Sudanese universities sources where possible, we provide a timely map of the intra-period higher education responses to COVID-19 across 11universities. We found that the responses by higher education providers have been diverse from having no response through social isolation strategies on campus and rapid curriculum redevelopment for fully online offerings. We provide in our discussion a typology of the types of responses currently undertaken and assess the agility of higher education in preparing for the pandemic. We believe there are significant opportunities to learn from the pedagogical developments of other universities, in order to strengthen our collective response to COVID-19 now and into the future. The paper also dealt with the reality of e-learning in Sudan for some Sudanese education institutionsand addressed the recommendations that led to the study, which was represented in the interest in simultaneous e-learning in educational institutions through the adoption of technical teaching methods.
