Assab, 04 November 2026 – The Ministry of Education branch in the Southern Red Sea Region organized a discussion forum on 3 November in the port city of Assab under the theme “Excellence in Teaching and Administration for Quality Education.”

At the forum, which was attended by heads of units, supervisors, heads of education offices in the sub-zones, and school directors, Mr. Feshaye Kidane, Head of the Ministry of Education branch in the region, said that teaching methods are among the major factors determining the quality of education and stressed the importance of conducting self-assessment.
