On Tuesday morning, 2,932 Sudanese students began taking their “basic stage examinations” in the refugee camps in eastern Chad. This occurred as a result of a memorandum of understanding agreed four years ago between Sudan’s federal Ministry of Education and local organisations concerned with education. The exams will continue until next Friday with two sessions a day. A delegate from the Sudanese Ministry of Education, Dr Musa Saleh, told Radio Dabanga that there are 11 examination centres for the basic stage in eastern Chad. Two of them are specified for girls. Dr Saleh underscored that “the students from eastern Chad camps who successfully pass this stage will have the opportunity to move to the secondary stage in all states of Sudan, especially the states bordering West and North Darfur, regardless of which state they originally come from”.File photo Related: Teachers work on, unpaid among Sudanese refugees in Chad (19 June 2013)
