Summary: | Enrollment in basic education in the
Republic of the Sudan has risen continuously since 2005.
However, service delivery in basic schools and student
learning outcomes are generally weak The papers included in
this book use survey data to describe how basic schools
function in four states of the Republic of the Sudan. The
main objective is to provide representative data on basic
school resources and student learning levels to allow
targeting of resources to priority areas and increase the
efficiency of resource use in order to promote student
learning. The source of data is the second Basic Education
Service Delivery Survey (SDS2) that covered 253 schools in
the 2010-11 academic year across the states of Blue Nile,
North Darfur, Red Sea and South Kordofan in Sudan. Basic
education is the fundamental cycle of education in Sudan,
combining primary and lower secondary education into one
eight-year cycle. Enrollments in basic schools have surged
in recent years, from 3.3 million students in 2000-01 to 4.9
million in 2008-09, with particularly rapid enrollment
growth in post-conflict states, including the four states
examined in this paper. This paper complements the education
sector status report published in 2012.5. It contributes to
the knowledge of basic education in the four states by
providing a systematic account of service delivery and
student achievement in basic schools. These two reports,
along with other analytical work, are being used to inform
the preparation of a new national education sector plan for
2012-16. Key contributions of this paper include the
measurement of learning outcomes, comparisons between urban
and rural schools, information on the role of the education
councils in school financing and specific data on schools
for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in North Darfur. |
