Challenges of E-Governance in Higher Education Institutions in Sudan
Abstract
E-governance has brought significant advantages that enhance the delivery of public services, make the administration system more transparent and accountable as well as and encourage the participation of stakeholders in the decision-making process. Particularly in developing countries like Sudan, but due to many challenges that hinder its full application, e-governance is not yet fully applied. These challenges encompass social, political, and technological considerations; beset the successful implementation of e-governance. All of these need to be given due care and attention in order to be successfully developed. This study aims to examine these challenges as the 21st century has brought many significant advantages to higher education education through the technological advancements that facilitate the education services delivery as some universities have gone far by adopting e-governance in order to enable easy access to educational resources for students and creating educational platforms. The study adopted a quantitative approach, and the data was collected using structured questionnaires via random sampling. The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis (SPSS). The findings revealed that there is a need for good university governance practice, improving infrastructure, and allocating a good budget for higher education institutions.
