Universities in Mauritania

In Mauritania, the public schools are offered free of charge. However, students need to pay heavily for books and other materials. Some of the challenges affecting the high education system here is poor national infrastructure, inadequate curriculum, repetition rates, and high dropouts. About 25% of youths do not go to high institution; instead they are interested in domestic work, and doing menial jobs to support their families. While about 22% who live in extreme rural areas do not go to school due to the distance of the school. Meanwhile, there are 7 public universities, 4 private universities, and 11 colleges. Currently there are over 16,000 international students. You are free to apply for the available job openings when you are done with your studies.
