BOSASO COLLEGE, PUNTLAND , SOMALIA
Bosaso College more Information
Bosaso College of Training and Computer (BCTC) was officially launched in 2006 in Bosaso-Puntland by a group of Somali intellectuals and educationists as a part of effort to respond to the immense demands of employers, both public and private in Puntland, for job ready manpower as well as professional oriented education. The college is registered and certified as Tertiary Education Institution by the Puntland Ministry of Education. The College has been so far successful to train a significant number of students who have been employed by both the public and private sector in Puntland. The College has profound commitment to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and plans to gradually expand its use in accessing global knowledge and learning.
The programs offered by the college have attracted a significant number of students and the driving force behind this expected dramatic increase in enrollment can be explained due to the fact that the skilled and competent paraprofessionals are needed now more than ever in Puntland, and therefore, the kind of education offered by the college is being well received by the community. Another factor is the considerable number of High School leavers in Puntland that requires skill oriented training for paying jobs.
Bosaso College is a higher education institution that was established in 2006.
The college is part of Muslim Aid-UK educational programs.
Its is a fast growing College that offers quality education leading to certificate and diploma qualifications. The certificates are internationally recognized and awarded by the College.
BC highlights personalized education, and uncommon training opportunities in Somalia , with tangible achievement hitherto despite being a small and relatively newly established institution. The College is now serving more than 400 students, a number expected to increase by three fold by the year 2008/2009.
The teaching staffs of the college currently include 15 lecturers and tutors some of whom are experienced professionals with higher degrees from Somali Diaspora, Kenya and India .
Besides academic and professional training, the college provides its students with human and moral training that are incorporated in its curriculum.
The college's vision is to transform the society by providing quality education and training that is highly required for technological, economic and social development
BOSASO COLLEGE
Synopsis:
Education services in Puntland State of Somalia (PSS) have never met the needs of the region's population and were in a precarious condition even before the collapse of the former Somali government. The civil upheavals and the influx of the internally displaced people from other parts of the country, returning to their ancestral land worsen the Education conditions there.
The current need for skill oriented tertiary education in the state, particularly in Bosaso, the main city of the State with over half a million inhabitants, is critical. Against this background, Bosaso College of Training and Computer (BCTC) was established in 2006 with funds provided by Muslim Aid.
Under the memorandum of understanding between the MA and BCTC; the College is part of MA education programme and consequently the staff of the college will become MA staff. In return, the college will remain as a vocational training college to provide employment opportunities to meet the need of the local community. The college should however itself gradually achieve sustainability and subsequently take over all functions of the college.
