April 12, 2026 (KHARTOUM) – The Ministry of Education stated on Sunday that the Sudanese secondary school certificate examinations will commence on Monday in regions governed by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and at various overseas centers for refugees in nearby nations.
This is the third instance where officials have conducted examinations in military-administered areas spanning northern, central, and eastern Sudan, along with the Blue Nile area and sections of Kordofan.
With the exams drawing near, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) implemented stringent security protocols on roads leading to army-controlled regions. Nevertheless, many students succeeded in reaching Chad, South Sudan, and Libya following arduous travels, as reported by Sudan Tribune.
The Education Ministry reported that about 564,000 students are enrolled to take the 2026 examinations, spread over 3,333 locations within and outside Sudan.
Education Minister Al-Tohami al-Zain Hajjar highlighted a rise in the number of participants when compared to earlier years. In 2021, 480,519 students took the exams, increasing to 518,712 in 2022. This year’s session features 226,684 students from batches delayed due to conflict and 222,404 students from the 2024 cohort.
In addition, a representative from the Teachers’ Committee informed Sudan Tribune that over 76 educators in Gezira state were removed from examination responsibilities due to “security concerns” following their requests for unpaid salaries from 2022.
