UNIVERSITIES ERITREA
University of Asmara
Eritrea had a long and important relationship with Italy during the years from 1981 to 1940 when the Italians were the colonial occupiers. It is not surprising that the first institution of higher education, therefore, was established by Italians and modeled after universities in their own country. In 1958, members of the missionary congregation Piae Madres Nigritiae or Camboni Sisters began private education classes for 10 Italian female students. The Holy Family University Institute was founded by Sister Marianora and Sister Fosca with a few Ethiopian Birr and great determination.
