Higher Education and Employment in the Sudan.
Sanyal, Bikas C.; Yacoub, Sammani A.
The increase in investment in education in the Sudan has increased the number of graduates by about 12 percent each year in 1970-1975. The increase in output has not been matched by an equal increase in the absorption capacity of the labor market. Postsecondary education has been extremely costly, and the nation can hardly support the problem of educated unemployed. Another problem is the discordance between the type of higher education offered by the system and the kind of education and training needed by the labor market. The results of an extensive study of admissions policies and the employment of college graduates in the Sudan are presented, and statistical tables accompany the report. (Author/MSE)
