His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, the Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has issued an order to continue admitting Sudanese students to the Sudan Private School in Sharjah tuition-free. This directive was communicated via the Direct Line programme on Sharjah Radio and Television. Sheikh Sultan also instructed the Sharjah Private Education Authority to refund any nominal fees collected from parents during the current academic year, thereby preventing additional financial strain on families.
The Sudan Private School was initially established by the Ruler to cater to the educational needs of Sudanese children whose families cannot afford school fees. This latest directive, issued amidst the challenging circumstances faced by Sudanese families, aims to ensure uninterrupted education for their children and alleviate financial burdens.
The initiative also seeks to enhance educational stability for Sudanese students residing in the emirate. Additionally, the Sharjah Ruler has approved 4,434 scholarships for Emiratis and the children of Emirati women residing in Sharjah, stepped in to restore employee leave, and ordered urgent HR reforms, announced 1,000 new government jobs under the 2026 budget.
