During the meeting, Mr. Hassan Omar stated that conflict and political instability in Sudan in recent years have disrupted education, with many schools being destroyed. Illiteracy rates are high, especially among women and in rural areas.
Currently, with the help of governments and international organizations, Sudan is striving to improve access to education , enhance education for girls, and restore the school system after the conflict; expanding higher education, especially in science, engineering, and medicine, to meet the country's development needs.
Expressing admiration for the achievements Vietnam has made in 80 years of national construction and development, especially in the field of education and training, Mr. Hassan Omar proposed promoting exchanges and learning about the education and training systems of the two countries, and exchanging scholarship programs between the two countries.
In 2016, both sides completed a draft memorandum of understanding on cooperation in higher education and scientific research between the Government of Vietnam and the Government of Sudan. However, due to objective circumstances, negotiations were not finalized. Therefore, the Sudanese side proposed resuming negotiations on the memorandum so that it could be signed as soon as possible.
Welcoming Ambassador Hassan Omar to the Ministry of Education and Training headquarters, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Phuc shared: Vietnam wants to initiate student exchanges and scholarships between the two governments. Based on this, the two countries will further develop cooperation in education and training in the future.
The Ministry of Education and Training hopes that a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in higher education and scientific research between the Government of Vietnam and the Government of Sudan will be signed soon, helping students from both countries to interact more and learn more about each other's cultures. Upon graduation, these students will return to their home countries to become ambassadors and bridges for cultural and educational exchange between the two nations.
