What did the Ministry of Education say?
The Ministry of Education announced on Meskerem 30, 2019 E.C. (10 October 2026) that it had finished reviewing complaints about the temporary placement of continuing students at universities in the Tigray region, and that it had responded to them. Tikvah University and Tikvah Education both reported the notice on the same day.
According to the notice, placement details are sent directly to each university. Students who were placed temporarily can continue their studies at the university they were assigned to, following the call schedule that university publishes. The ministry says placements may still be adjusted, so students should confirm them before they go.
Which students does this affect?
The notice concerns continuing students, meaning students who were already studying at universities in the Tigray region and want to continue there, including those who were given a temporary placement. It also says that new students can check the university they were placed at.
The sources do not say how many students are affected, which universities take part, or whether students from other regions are included. These details have not been announced.
