Some of Amoud University students in their graduation rolls

Borama, Somaliland, July 29, 2006 (SL Times) – 134 students were awarded BA degrees in education, management and administration during Amoud University’s annual graduation ceremony held on Thursday.

Somaliland’s minister of Education, Mr. Hassan Mohamud Warsame (Gadhweyne) and Amoud University’s president, Professor Suleiman Ahmed Gulaid, were the keynote speakers at the ceremony.

The minister highlighted in his speech the great need for higher education in the country and lamented the shortage in the number of colleges available in the country which he said would not be enough to cater for the large number of students who complete secondary school education. He said that school enrollment has increased from 10,000 students in 1992 to 150,000 in the last academic year.

The Amoud University which was established in 1999 with the help of the community, currently consists of the 3 faculties of Education, Administration and Management and Medicine. The University also offers courses on a variety of fields.
