Abstract

The Sudanese education system, in recent years, has seen a significant expansion because of the significant increase in the numbers wishing to learn. There is a necessary need for expanding educational services to cover this vast number of scholars. The existing service is showing a clear deficit through physical, human, and spatial limitations.

The development of the project approach is considered a way to modernize the national system of higher education (Machekhina, 2017;Sari & Faiz, 2021;Onia & Rmadan, 2023).
