Reporting: Arif Abdo
Concern of Khalifa Foundation to higher education in Socotra was very important to motivate students to join universities, which has been a dream for long period of time. This would also provide the local market with young qualified professionals that would help in having better quality of life.
It was worth noting that Khalifa Foundation continuously supported the Community College in Socotra for the sake of success of the academic year 2020 -2021. It paid salaries of instructors, which have been considered as a problem after suspension of the budget.
The Foundation also provided the college with 20 computers with tables and chairs in addition to boards for the academic halls.
Furthermore, Khalifa Foundation supported students of Socotra by holding computer and English courses for students, teachers and employees to qualify them to use computer. In addition, the Foundation, in coordination with the college, held a graduation celebration for the second batch of the distinguished students of all majors.
It was worth noting that the Foundation used to provide the distinguished students with scholarships to join universities in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
