Abstract (English): Sudan is today a country self-defined as Islamic (97% of the population) and Arab. In this context the schools of the Catholic Church have played and play a relevant role in the instruction of the elites of the country and in the provision of education to the displaced and refugee communities (3.58 million persons of concern of UNHCR in 2016). This article studies the development of these schools and their change of role along the following historical periods: the part of the Turco-Egyptian rule that corresponds with the foundation of the first Catholic Schools and the work of the great promotor of education in Sudan, Daniel Comboni (1843-1881); the Anglo- Egyptian Condominium which meant their expansion (1898-1956); and the Independent Sudan where they mainly focused on the service to displaced and refugees (1956-2017). The article describes this evolution and the current situation based upon the revision of published bibliography and unpublished materials from the archives of the Education Office of the Archdiocese of Khartoum and of the Comboni Missionaries in Sudan, especially for the most recent periods.

Abstract (Spanish): Sudán es hoy un país autodefinido como islámico (97% de su población) y árabe. En este contexto las escuelas de la Iglesia Católica han desempeñado y desempeñan un papel relevante en la instrucción de las élites del país y en la provisión de educación a las comunidades de desplazados y refugiados (3,58 millones de personas de interés del ACNUR en 2016). Este artículo estudia el desarrollo de estas escuelas y su cambio de rol a lo largo de los diferentes períodos históricos: la parte del gobierno Turco-Egipcio que corresponde con la fundación de las primeras Escuelas Católicas y el trabajo del gran promotor de la educación en Sudán, Daniel Comboni (1843- 1881); el condominio anglo-egipcio que significó su expansión (1898-1956); y el período del Sudán Independiente, donde estas escuelas se concentraron principalmente en el servicio a los desplazados y refugiados (1956-2017). El artículo describe esta evolución y la situación actual a partir de la revisión de la bibliografía publicada y de materiales inéditos de los archivos de la Oficina de Educación de la Arquidiócesis de Jartum y de los Misioneros Combonianos en Sudán.
