By TesfaNews,
SUMMER is a season of multi-disciplinary harvest in the Eritrean academic calendar as thousands of Eritrean children graduate and celebrate their achievements from the various Colleges, Institutes and Technical Schools in the country.
Working on a priority basis in a bid to promote educational outreach through its “Education for All” policy, the Eritrean government rendered 45 percent of its annual budget to provide absolutely FREE education service to all its citizens up to the tertiary level with the ultimate goal of promoting social and economic development through Education.
It is gratifying to witness the higher number of graduates being shown annually that attests the soundness of the policy and strategies in connection with education.
According to the September 2013 data from UNESCO Institute for Statistics, Eritrea’s adult literacy rate was in the range of 60 – 69% and its youth literacy rate ranges between 90 – 100% which is among the highest not only in the region but also in the world.
The Eritrean government believes Education in the country is a fundamental human right and a lifelong process by which all individuals are given opportunities to attain their potential as all-round citizens along with a firm belief in and loyalty to the Eritrean nation.
