The Ministry of Education and National Training in Sudan is planning to launch an electronic window that will enable students to apply for and pay for their secondary certificates online. This new system, being coordinated with the Ministry of Digital Transformation, aims to simplify procedures and speed up the certificate acquisition process. Students both within Sudan and abroad will be able to complete the necessary steps without having to physically attend in person.

According to the Minister of Education and National Training, Dr. Al-Tahmi Al-Zein Hajar, the introduction of the electronic window is intended to reduce the burden of travel and congestion at certificate collection centers in Khartoum. The minister made these remarks while inspecting secondary certificate collection centers in Khartoum and Omdurman. He emphasized that this move is part of the ongoing efforts to improve and streamline services.

As part of its efforts to expand and improve services, an additional center has been opened in Omdurman. This new center is designed to handle the increasing demand and provide better services to students and their families. The minister's visit included an assessment of the current procedures and an evaluation of the needs of students and their families.

The Ministry has also taken steps to organize services more effectively. A specific window has been allocated for teachers and another for the armed forces to collect their secondary certificates. This allocation is in line with the ministry's efforts to develop services and enhance the procedures for obtaining certificates more quickly and efficiently.

The electronic window is expected to significantly reduce the congestion currently experienced at certificate collection centers. By allowing students to apply and pay online, the ministry aims to make the process more efficient. This move is also expected to benefit students living abroad, who will no longer have to travel to Sudan to collect their certificates.

The Ministry of Education and National Training's initiative to introduce an electronic window for secondary certificate services aligns with Sudan's broader efforts to digitalize public services. This digital transformation is aimed at improving the efficiency and accessibility of various government services, making them more user-friendly for citizens.

The introduction of the electronic window for secondary certificate services is set to take effect soon, with the ministry working on finalizing the necessary infrastructure. Once operational, students will be able to access the service and complete their applications online, marking a significant improvement in the delivery of educational services in Sudan.
