Our Work

Education

In Sudan, education stands at the forefront of societal challenges, reflecting a complex interplay of historical legacies and contemporary realities. The Sudan Contemporary Center for Studies and Development (SCCESTUD) recognizes education as a cornerstone of progress and endeavors to address systemic deficiencies through targeted interventions.

Issues with Sudanese Education System

Sudan’s educational landscape bears the marks of historical tensions between traditional religious instruction and modern pedagogical approaches introduced during British colonial rule. This dichotomy persists today, with modern education often perceived as unreliable or secondary to religious teachings. Compounded by widespread illiteracy and regional disparities, the education system becomes a tool for perpetuating racial discrimination and reinforcing class divides.
A vision for change:

SUCCESTUD envisions a reimagined education system that transcends traditional divides, empowering individuals with practical skills and fostering a culture of critical thinking and collaboration. Our initiatives target both children and adults, aiming to bridge educational gaps and instill a sense of lifelong learning.

Proposed Modern Curriculum:

Our comprehensive educational framework spans from kindergarten to post-secondary education, encompassing both academic and vocational pathways. By leveraging digital tools and multilingual instruction, we equip students with essential knowledge and skills, nurturing independent thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Adult Education Initiatives:

In collaboration with African universities and international partners, SUCCESTUD extends educational opportunities to marginalized communities, offering scholarships and vocational training programs. Adult education classes focus on literacy, vocational skills, and pathways to secondary and tertiary education, empowering individuals to chart their own educational journeys.

Human Rights and Democracy

Human rights serve as the bedrock of modern democratic societies, embodying the inherent dignity and worth of every individual. They transcend geographical, religious, and ethnic boundaries, forming the cornerstone of a just and equitable world.

At the Sudan Contemporary Center for Studies and Development (SUCCESTUD), we are dedicated to promoting awareness and understanding of human rights principles. Through our educational programs, we aim to empower individuals of all ages with the knowledge and tools to advocate for their rights and those of others.

Fostering Universal Rights

Human rights are universal, belonging to every human being by virtue of their humanity. In 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a milestone document endorsed by all 193 member states. At SCCESTUD, we actively teach and promote the principles enshrined in this declaration, as well as other international covenants such as the Convention on the Rights of Women and Children and the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court.

Building the Federal School

As part of our commitment to civic education, SUCCESTUD is spearheading the establishment of the Federal School in a neighboring country to Sudan. This innovative educational institution aims to empower local communities with an understanding of the federal system, fostering grassroots democracy and governance.

The Federal School curriculum covers various levels of governance, from village and neighborhood councils to regional and federal bodies. Through structured education classes, community members learn essential skills for effective council management, ensuring a smooth transition and sustainable governance practices.

Join us as we work to build a future where human rights are upheld, and every individual has the knowledge and capacity to participate fully in their communities and societies. Together, we can create a world where justice, equality, and dignity prevail.

Social and Economic Development

At the Sudan Contemporary Center for Studies and Development (SCCESTUD), we believe that true progress lies in the development of individuals and communities. Through targeted initiatives, we strive to equip people with the skills and resources needed to thrive in today’s dynamic world.

Empowering Human Development
Human development encompasses more than just economic growth; it’s about nurturing people’s potential and fostering creativity. SCCESTUD is dedicated to this holistic approach, providing training and education to local residents in agricultural and livestock management. By forming and managing associations, community members gain valuable skills for sustainable livelihoods and economic independence.

Fostering Local Development Projects
In collaboration with local councils, SCCESTUD facilitates the implementation of development projects at the grassroots level. These initiatives not only promote economic growth but also address the basic material and moral needs of communities. By harnessing local resources and expertise, we ensure that development is inclusive, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of the people.

Connecting Communities for Progress
Through strategic partnerships with democratic municipalities, SCCESTUD seeks to leverage international best practices in local governance and self-development. By sharing knowledge and experiences, we empower communities to achieve their full potential and realize their aspirations for a better future.

Integrated Curriculum for Humanity and Federalism
As an integral part of our educational initiatives, SCCESTUD integrates lessons on humanity and federalism into the curriculum of the Federal School. By promoting values of inclusivity and governance, we lay the foundation for responsible citizenship and sustainable development at all levels of society.

Research

At the Sudan Contemporary Center for Studies and Development (SCCESTUD), we prioritize the pursuit of knowledge and understanding through rigorous scientific research. Our dedicated Research Department is committed to collecting, analyzing, and disseminating cutting-edge studies on a wide range of topics relevant to Sudan and beyond.

Comprehensive Research Collection

Our researchers diligently gather a diverse array of studies, covering economic, social, political, and cultural dimensions of the Sudanese context. These studies, whether authored by Sudanese scholars or international researchers, provide valuable insights into the complexities of our society and inform evidence-based decision-making.

Global Perspective, Local Insight

In addition to local research, the Studies Department at SUCCESTUD curates global studies that offer perspectives on the renaissance and development of nations and societies worldwide. By examining these experiences, we gain valuable insights into best practices and lessons learned, enabling us to adapt and innovate in our own context.

Translation and Review

Our Research and Studies Department goes the extra mile to ensure accessibility and accuracy by translating research findings into both Arabic and English. Furthermore, each study undergoes meticulous review and analysis to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and relevance.
