British colonial education in the Sudan was deliberately kept rudimentary

Evidence

The British claimed that, since the establishment of the condominium, projects organized and administered by the Sudan government had actually reformed the chaos wrought on the Sudan during the Turkïya and the Mahdïya. Although Egyptian soldiers and bureaucrats were still needed to run the political and financial infrastructure of the Sudan, British administrators in Khartoum favored growth in rudimentary education, particularly instruction in agricultural development, which, it was thought, would bring peace and prosperity. Education that could bring about the level of sophistication necessary for the Sudanese to govern themselves was not part of their immediate plan. — Eve M.
