The Sudan Certificate Examinations kicked off on Saturday against a backdrop of gunfire and smoke from ongoing battles. These critical exams, essential for university enrollment, are being conducted in schools situated on the front lines, as well as in refugee camps and shelters for displaced persons.
A total of 343,644 students are sitting for these pivotal exams at 2,300 centres across Sudan and abroad, while approximately 150,000 students are unable to participate due to the ongoing conflict.
