The transition of college graduates to the world of work in the Sudan was studied as a follow-up of earlier research on the relation of education and employment. Of concern were: higher education's response to the changing needs of Sudanese society; students' choices in higher education and their performance; the match between students' qualifications and job requirements; and the correspondence between students' expectations and achievements in the work world. Enrollments by broad fields of study were identified, along with enrollments by region and province. The unit cost method was employed to assess the cost of higher education. The attitudes of students, graduates, and employers were determined using questionnaires, which are appended. The conceptual framework for these surveys is discussed, with attention to individual and family characteristics, community characteristics, parental education, occupation and income, and educational and occupational background. Final-year secondary school students who were to enter college were surveyed as well as college students. Background information on the Sudanese economy and educational system is included. (SW)

Education in South Sudan: Status and Challenges for a New System. As part of the Country Status Report series, this book provides a comprehensive review of the status of education in post-conflict South Sudan. With the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2005 began the establishment of a new education system specifically for South Sudan. Primary school enrollments approximately doubled between 2005 and 2009 from 0.7 million to 1.4 million; yet, the recent rapid growth has resulted in a concentration of students in the early grades, a high proportion of overage students, repetition and dropout

Higher education is in transition. On the one hand, over the last decades it has become politically and economically more important and thus also an object of reforms. On the other hand, higher education has become less special and is no longer able to justify its unique governance arrangements. This volume presents a collection of contributions that go beyond reform agendas as such and focus on the effects of reforms at all relevant levels in higher education systems. It is organised in four themes – education, research, governance, and academic profession – with a variety of levels of analysis, theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches and geographical foci. The topics in focus include the possible impact of latest national and European initiatives, changes in the primary processes (education and research) on the levels of institutions, professions and for individuals as well as higher education dynamics in contexts often overlooked in the literature (e.g. Africa). The aim is to ‘take stock’ of the growing knowledge basis with respect to higher education with a special focus on the influence of reforms on the key aspects of higher education.
