History Made as Over 4,000 Somalis Sit for SNU Admission Exams

Over 4,000 students have sat for the Somali National University (SNU) admission test this year, marking a record-breaking turnout.

The growing interest in higher education in Somalia highlights the increasing demand for quality educational opportunities as the country continues to rebuild its institutions.

This surge in applicants reflects a positive trend in Somalia’s youth seeking knowledge and skills to contribute to the nation’s development.

The Somali government has made efforts in recent years to revitalize SNU, once a prominent institution before the civil war, aiming to restore it to its former status as a leading academic institution in the region.

SNU is arguably the oldest and most prominent institute of higher learning in Somalia.
