Sudan's primary enrollment rate has exhibited a steady ascent, with the latest available figure standing at 72.40% in 2019. This places the country at the 162nd position globally, trailing behind peer nations such as Lebanon and Kenya. Notably, Sudan's primary enrollment rate has more than doubled since 2001, when it stood at 54.92%, marking a significant improvement in access to education. The country's primary enrollment rate has consistently trended upwards since then, with 2019 representing an all-time high. While this upward trajectory is encouraging, Sudan's primary enrollment rate still lags behind that of other countries in the region, such as Pakistan. To sustain and accelerate this progress, Sudan will need to address the persistent challenges of infrastructure, teacher training, and access to quality education, particularly in rural areas. The trajectory of Sudan's primary enrollment rate is likely to be influenced by the government's ability to allocate sufficient resources to the education sector and implement effective policies to address these challenges.
