News Center_ UNICEF has warned of the worsening impact of the conflict in Sudan on the education sector, stating that the conflict has caused more than 8 million children in Sudan on the education sector, stating that the conflict has caused more than 8 million children to be away from school, threatening their fundamental right to education and putting the future of an entire generation at great risk.

Mira Nasser, spokesperson for UNICEF in Sudan, said that the continued suspension of education deprives millions of children of the educational environment they need and reduces their opportunities to acquire the skills that help them build their future.

She stressed that addressing the education crisis in Sudan must begin without waiting for the end of the conflict, calling for the reopening of schools in areas where security conditions allow.

She explained that students' return to classrooms requires comprehensive measures, including providing teaching staff, rehabilitating damaged schools, ensuring the availability of essential services, foremost among them drinking water and sanitation networks, in addition to providing books, tools, and educational materials.

In areas that still witness security conditions preventing regular schooling, or that lack schools capable of receiving students, the spokesperson explained that alternative education can be an important means of maintaining children's connection to learning.

UNICEF stressed that the continuation of the conflict should not mean suspending children's right to learn, affirming that urgent action to provide safe educational opportunities has become a necessity, not an option to be postponed until after the conflict ends.

It believes that returning children to the educational process is an essential step to protect their future and reduce the long‑term repercussions that the conflict may leave on Sudanese society.
