Since the escalation of conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces in April 2023, the country has witnessed mass displacement, widespread destruction of infrastructure, and the near-total collapse of basic services—including education. Entire communities have been uprooted, with schools damaged, occupied, or converted into shelters, while millions of children have been cut off from learning.
