Education Capacity Building Director Magboul Kheir-Elseed visited the areas recently and said some of the schools have already been opened.Mr Kheir-Elseed explained that the initiative enables the children in those areas to follow the New Sudan English Curriculum.
He added that the visit was requested by the commissioners of the two counties who wanted the new curriculum to be introduced in the areas.
Mr Kheir-Elseed said he conducted a workshop in Rashad County last month and more than 70 teachers were trained to open new schools using the New Sudan school programme.
He added that more English teachers will be sent to Rashad and New Tagali.
