Tigray universities to resume education after 2-year hiatus

Adigrat and Aksum universities in the Tigray region have recently announced the resumption of education for their regular students after a two-year interruption as a consequence of the two-year-long war between the federal government and Tigray People’s Liberation Front, reports the Addis Standard.

Adigrat University has requested regular students, including postgraduate students who were unable to study at other public universities, to report to the main campus from 5 to 7 August 2023. Additionally, regular students from other universities who are interested in joining Adigrat University are invited to report on 9 to 10 August.

Similarly, Aksum University has announced its plans to admit students starting on 8 August, 2023. Both universities have requested their former teachers, who were temporarily reassigned to other universities, to return and assist in the resumption of education.
