More Students to Join Institutions of Higher Education
Asmara, 20 August 2010 - A total of 4,706 students who scored a passing mark
in the 2009/2010 High School Leaving National Certificate Exams would joint
the institutions of higher education to pursue advanced education,
according to Dr. Tadesse Mehari, Executive Director of the National Board of
Eritrean Institutions of Higher Education.
He pointed out that in accordance with the procedure charted by the national
board, over 95% of those who scored passing mark have been enrolled in the
field of their choice. Meanwhile, although all 253 students who scored full
mark in the exams preferred to join the School of Medicine, especially
medical doctorate study, 50 students have been enrolled for such study
following thorough scrutiny due to the lack of enough capacity in the
School.
Highlighting the need for students to avail themselves of the available
educational opportunities, Dr. Tadesse expressed conviction that the quality
of Eritrean curriculum would be ensured shortly.
