Foundation: |
|
|
|
The Faculty in
collaboration with the Higher Teachers Institute started the idea
which goes back to 1956 when an urgent need was felt to train
teachers for the secondary schools and to replace expatriate
teachers by their Sudanese equivalents. An educational committee,
composed of some educational and guidance professionals from the
Sudan and abroad, recommended the plans concerning the foundation of
this Institute. The foundation was carried out under the supervision
of the Ministry of Education and Guidance (then the Department of
Education) and with the assistance from UNESCO. |

A graduate of
this Institute was awarded Diploma Degree after having completed
four years study course to become a teacher at the secondary
schools. The Diploma was upgraded in 1971 to a B.A. degree to be
awarded by the University of Khartoum. The Institute was joined to
the University of Khartoum in 1974 to become the present Faculty of
Education. |
