As part of the process of carrying out expansion in higher education of Sudan and to entrench the Nation's policies, the University of Dalang was established in 1994 by presidential decree No.67. Based on this decree both the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Agricultural Science were transferred from the University of Kordofan to the University of Dalang. The University of Dalang also inher
ited the former Institute of Education; the torchbearer of knowledge in the South Kordofan area from which many teachers from all over the country had graduated. This was upgraded to form the Faculty of Community Development in 1999. In 2001 the Faculty of Post-Graduate Studies was opened. The University was not established in the capital of South Kordofan State, Kadugli, but in the town of Dalang. However it is the central institution for knowledge and education in the Nuba Mountains area and contributes greatly to the stability and progress of the region.
