Educational Change and the Khalwa in the Sudan: Reform Reformed

Describes the new educational policy, a reform attempted for primary and secondary education in the Sudan by the Nimeiri Government during the period 1970‐1985. The plan was a top‐down attempt to increase enrolments dramatically and to change the type of curriculum from colonial, inherited from the British, to one which was authentically Sudanese and would prepare all students to live in a modern society.
