The Minister of National Education and Culture Olgun Amcaoğlu announced on Sunday that the number of students enrolled in universitites in the TRNC has reached 108,295, hitting a new record.

Amcaoğlu in a press statement said that the TRNC’s priority was to provide quality education, something he added most universities in the country had succeeded in achieving.

He said that 22,688 new students had enrolled this year alone showing positive signs that the higher education sector was slowly recovering from the pandemic.

Amcaoğlu pointed out a 25% increase in the number of new enrolments to universities compared to the 2018-2019 academic year was a success.

The TRNC education ministry thanked the administrations at the universities as well as his staff at the ministry for their contribution towards this accomplishment.
