Popis: Alongside its social and cultural role, higher education is, and will continue to be, central to Sudan's performance in the twenty first century. It is the key mechanism through which knowledge is generated, preserved and passed on. Since higher skills significantly influence life chances and earning potential, wider and fairer access to higher education is a question of basic social justice. To succeed in widening access to poorer students over the coming years. It is in the interests of the society that there are no caps on talent in Sudan'. Fairer access to university for the educationally disadvantaged but able sudanese pupils has to remain a key concern. In this paper we set out our strategy for sustaining a quota system for higher education to help rectify the damaged social fabric in wor-torn areas of Sudan by temporarily constitutionalizing positive discrimination in education.
