Eritrea Institute of Technology
- Eritrea Institute of Technology
The Eritrea Institute of Technology is located on Mai Nefhi, about 20 km south west of Asmara, near the Mai Nefhi dam. It currently has four colleges: Science, Engineering and Technology, Education, and Arts and Social Sciences. Other new colleges are also under construction elsewhere in the country in other fields of studies, and these educational facilities are expected to strengthen post-secondary education in Eritrea. The Institute began with about 5,500 students during the 2003-2004 academic year, and is still undergoing large amounts of construction.
The main reason for the opening of the college was to replace the University and increase the number of students attending higher education in Eritrea. This was to be done by opening more colleges elsewhere in the country and introducing graduate studies in the existing and only University. At this time the University is for graduate studies only. For undergraduate studies people should look for the other colleges.
since the college is funded by the gonernment and UNDP, it provides full accommodation and education, and students do not have to pay anything. But the rules of the school are tight. No student is allowed to go out of the school compound, every student must attend presence check every morning. Should any student fail to obey there rules it leads to immediate imprisonment in the school correctional facility or suspension.
As the college is new (has not graduated any students yet) and students are unable to buy their own textbooks, they borrow books on semester basis from the University Bookstore. For first year students, the Institute has acquired textbooks for most of the courses that are offered. However, there are severe shortages for second year students and this is causing bottlenecks in the teaching and learning process. Reference books are also in short supply and more are required. For textbooks, it would be desirable if the number of copies per title (book) is between 40 and 200. For reference books the corresponding number is between 5 to 10. Whenever possible hard cover books and latest editions are preferred. [http://www.edfonline.org/BookDrive/BookDrive.htm]
