Due to conflicts in Sudan, many of our students have relocated to countries like Egypt, Qatar, Nigeria, Uganda, and Rwanda. We came to ensure they are well cared for academically and socially,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The delegation visited UMST, which offers programs in medicine, medical laboratory technology, and dentistry, with a student body of over 700, almost all of them from Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>Alnoor praised the university&#8217;s facilities, noting that they exceed the standards set back in Sudan. \u201cTo be honest, the building, the environment, and the standards are better than what we see back home. The students we spoke to are happy, they study and graduate on time, which is different from what I have seen in other countries where our students are studying,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-74613 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/pic_3-5.jpg\" alt=\"Prof. Mahamed Muhamed Alnoor, Head of Sudanese delegation and Prof. Samir Shaheen, Vice-Chancellor of UMST share a light moment\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>The delegation was also highly impressed with Rwanda\u2019s overall hospitality and governance. Alnoor stated, \u201cRwanda is not only an inspiration to Sudan but to all other African nations on how to transition from colonial rule to a modern, independent state. All African countries have something to learn from this experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Samir Shaheen, Vice-Chancellor of UMST and a Professor of Pediatric Orthopedics, also expressed satisfaction with the collaboration between Sudan and Rwanda. \u201cWe are happy with Rwanda for warmly receiving us. The students and faculty have integrated well into the community. We\u2019re happy to have chosen Rwanda as our destination,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Established less than one year ago, UMST is now fully recognized as a cross-border university, accepting students from Rwanda and the surrounding region. \u201cWe have received full support from the Rwandan government and the Higher Education Council. Our admissions will close on September 14,\u201d Shaheen revealed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-74611 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/pic_1-6.jpg\" alt=\"The delegation held consultative meetings in an effort to assess the academic conditions of Sudanese students studying abroad\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>In conclusion, Alnoor emphasized the importance of Sudanese students understanding the proper application procedures for foreign universities to avoid any complications. \u201cOur students here are safe, they study and pass well. I have no doubt that many more will come in the future because the feedback from Sudan is very positive,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>With the delegation\u2019s glowing remarks, it is clear that the collaboration between Sudan and Rwanda in higher education is flourishing, providing a solid foundation for future academic partnerships.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-74612 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/pic_2-5.jpg\" alt=\"The delegation expressed admiration for the University of Medical Sciences and Technology (UMST) and Rwanda\u2019s academic landscape in general.\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to assess the academic conditions of Sudanese students studying abroad, a delegation from Sudan\u2019s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, led by Prof. Mahamed Muhamed Alnoor, recently visited Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p>During the visit, Prof. Alnoor, Head of the Sudanese delegation, expressed his admiration for the University of Medical Sciences and Technology (UMST) and Rwanda\u2019s academic landscape in general.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":135,"featured_media":2000074610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[75],"byline":[3135],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-51391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","tag-homenews","byline-sam-k-nkurunziza-2"],"bylines":[{"id":3135,"name":"Sam K Nkurunziza","slug":"sam-k-nkurunziza-2","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":null}],"contributors":[{"id":3135,"name":"Sam K Nkurunziza","slug":"sam-k-nkurunziza-2","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":null}],"featured_image":{"id":2000074610,"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/profile-5.jpg","alt":"","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/profile-5.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"medium":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/profile-5.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"medium_large":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/profile-5.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"large":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/profile-5.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"full":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/profile-5.jpg","width":0,"height":0}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/135"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2000074610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51391"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=51391"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=51391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
