Turkey, Top Choice for Students from Somalia Studying Abroad

The public works, reconstruction and housing minister of Somalia has announced that Turkey is the number one study destination for young Somalis studying abroad.

“Even if they are offered the United States or the West, they don’t choose them,” Sadiq Abdullahi Abdi told Anadolu Agency.

The minister stated that the education quality, social structure, and cultural values is what attracts students from Somalia to study in Turkey.

Students from Somalia studying in Turkey are currently studying in “all fields: medicine, engineering, and agriculture,” and others, he added.
