The University of Madagascar was the former name of the centralized
public university system inMadagascar , although the original branch inAntananarivo is still often called by that name.The system traces its history to
December 16 ,1955 , and the formation of the Institute for Advanced Studies in the capital Antananarivo. It quickly established itself as the main center for higher education in the country, and was renamed the University of Madagascar in1961 . The main branch opened five more branches inAntsiranana ,Fianarantsoa ,Toamasina ,Toliara , andMahajanga .In
