Ethiopia: AAU preparing to launch postgraduate program in paleoanthropology
The Addis Ababa University (AAU) is preparing to launch new postgraduate education program in paleoanthropology.
University academicians were gathered at the Arat Kilo Science Faculty on Saturday to discuss the launching of the program.
Program coordinator, Dr. Mohammed Omar said on the occasion that the launching of the program would contribute to the development and use of a number of heritages found in the country while helping the institution to produce more scholars in the field.
The new program increases the number of postgraduate fields to six. It also helps the nation to effectively manage and make use of its heritage and history of ancient humans.
Director General of the Ethiopian Heritage Studies and Conservation Authority, Jarra Hailemairam on his part said Ethiopia could be regarded as the first country, which has a number of paleoanthropological studies.
The authority will continue in its support to the AAU so as to make the institution effective in the implementation of the new program, he added.
