Adi-Keih
The construction of additional building complexes at a cost of 150 million Nakfa is underway to expand the Adi-Keih College of Arts and Social Science that was set up a couple of years ago.
The project includes the construction of Ground +2 dormitory building complex along with 5 blocks which would accommodate 1,800 students, different classrooms that could accommodate between 40 and 120 students at a given time, offices for teachers and employees, as well as a cafe hall that could serve 1,000 students.
Speaking at the laying of the project's cornerstone, Mr. Yemane Gebremeskel, Director of the Office of the President, expressed conviction that the construction of the project would be finalized as scheduled, and thus begins rendering service.
The Dean of the College, Dr. Okbagebrial Beraki, on his part noted the significance of its expansion, as it is being set up in Adi-Keih which is rich in historical and archeological resources. Indicating that the College would offer six degree courses and two in diploma, he pointed out that it is expected to enroll over 2,000 students.

The Adi Keih College currently under construction is to essentially become another military camp under the guise of an educational institution. Its counterpart at Mai Nefhi which was built and made functional after the closure of the Asmara University is presided by a military colonel with a six grade education - a poor educational role model. At Mai Nefhi, student conduct is guided by military discipline instead of academics.
