Girls’ Education in Sudan Past, Present and Future

Abstract

We begin by praying to Allah for two things: encouraging us to keep learning, and asking us not to make any discrimination based on gender as we engage in a process of learning. The Prophet Mohammed bin Abdullah was also very keen to spread knowledge and enlightened teachings & ideas. Studying the history of Sudanese girls is an exciting enjoyable matter in many ways and dimensions. As a researcher, I was very amazed to discover that Sudanese women were able to rule their communities as sovereign queens even before the Birth of Christ. That is an evidence that they possessed exceptional skills in management and knowledge, because persons assuming governing positions have to be literate and knowledgeable.
