She said "e-learning is of great importance in spreading knowledge and science in an effective and efficient manner.

Mr. Faiz Babiker Eljunaid mentioned that the University has benefited from the human and technical capabilities available to it in overcoming the negative effects of Covid19, which negatively affected other sectors, and said "the experience of online education is successful at the global level, and we transferred it to Sudan and it was applied in universities in general and with distinction in the Sudan University of Science and Technology.
