Overview
According to its website, the University of Ngozi was established partly to address admission pressures at the University of Burundi, in Bujumbura at that time. In 1999, it is estimated that there were about 7,000 university students attending the University of Bujumbura, the only university in Burundi then, which was designed to accommodate no more than 4,000 students then.[5]
In addition, there was an active civil war going on in Burundi. The planners' of Ngozi University, calculated that with more university positions available in the country, young people would be encouraged to pursue further education, instead of joining the civil conflict.[5]
