COLLEGE Synopsis:
Education services in Puntland State of Somalia (PSS) have never met the needs of the region's population and were in a precarious condition even before the collapse of the former Somali government. The civil upheavals and the influx of the internally displaced people from other parts of the country, returning to their ancestral land worsen the Education conditions there. The current need for skill oriented tertiary education in the state, particularly in Bosaso, the main city of the State with over half a million inhabitants, is critical. Against this background, Bosaso College of Training and Computer (BCTC) was established in 2006 with funds provided by Muslim Aid. Under the memorandum of understanding between the MA and BCTC; the College is part of MA education programme and consequently the staff of the college will become MA staff. In return, the college will remain as a vocational training college to provide employment opportunities to meet the need of the local community. The college should however itself gradually achieve sustainability and subsequently take over all functions of the college.
