Freshman students will not be assigned to Tigray universities

Minister of Education Professor Berhanu Nega has announced that first-year students will not be assigned to universities in the Tigray region. The Minister explained that the decision stems from the unstable security situation in the region, which is deemed unsuitable for hosting students. He emphasized that students will not be forced to study in areas affected by conflict.

Furthermore, the Ministry stated that if instructors choose to leave universities in Tigray due to conflict or security concerns, they will be facilitated to teach at other universities. Professor Berhanu expressed deep concern over the impact of the ongoing conflict on the youth, urging students to prioritize their education in safer environments, regardless of political affiliations.
