In June, Tom Erdimi, Chad's Minister of State and Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Vocational Training, emphasized to Sputnik Africa that Russian universities respect students' choices of specialization without discrimination. He also encouraged students from Chad to consider Russian universities for their higher education.
Chad seeks to move away from its colonial education system and enhance collaboration with Russia in the field of education, stated Chad's Minister of National Education and Civic Promotion, Gana Boukar Mamadou, at the first ministerial conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum.
"Over the recent years, we have been trying to eliminate the colonial education system because we face a severe issue of unemployment and lack of professional skills. We lack knowledge in the natural sciences," he stated.
According to the minister, Chad is "very keen to strengthen interaction with Russia" in the education sector.
"We would like to enhance this cooperation and develop innovative approaches in primary, secondary, higher education, communication, science, and technology. This will enable us to boost our development," stated the official.

Gana Boukar Mamadou acknowledged that Chad faces a wide range of serious problems and crises, primarily humanitarian in nature, and education; he noted, "helps to cope" with them.

"All our neighbors – Sudan, Libya, the northern part of Cameroon – are either in crisis or emerging from it. A significant number of conflicts continue to flare intensely on the continent," he said. "We fully understand the serious terrorist threats."
