Togo higher education gets 107 new full professors

The long-awaited resolution has arrived. Following weeks of unrest on the Lomé campus, the government has officially confirmed in a Council of Ministers meeting the promotion of 107 associate professors to the rank of Full Professors at public universities.

Merit recognized after months of unrest

These promotions follow a teachers’ strike that took place on July 2 at the University of Lomé. By elevating these educators to the highest academic rank, authorities aim to acknowledge outstanding scientific contributions and teaching excellence at Togo’s two leading institutions: the University of Lomé and the University of Kara.

«This move strengthens the teaching, research, and mentoring capabilities of public universities while enhancing the prestige of Togolese higher education.»

Committing to academic excellence and global recognition

The government extended heartfelt congratulations to the newly appointed professors and urged them to continue their pursuit of scientific innovation and quality education for the nation’s youth.

These promotions signal a broader commitment to maintaining high performance standards across the academic community. The goal is to boost Togo’s higher education system’s regional and international competitiveness and prestige.
