After weeks of unrest on the Lomé campus, a resolution has been reached. The government officially announced on Thursday, during a Council of Ministers meeting, the appointment of 107 associate professors at public universities to the rank of Full Professors.
Academic excellence rewarded following teacher protests
This batch of promotions follows a mobilization by university lecturers on July 2 in Lomé. By formalizing these advancements within the academic hierarchy, authorities aim to acknowledge scientific merit and the educational contributions made at the nation’s two leading institutions: the University of Lomé and the University of Kara.
« These promotions will strengthen teaching, research, and mentorship capacities across public universities while elevating the prestige of Togolese higher education. »
Driving innovation and global recognition in higher education
In congratulating the 107 newly appointed Full Professors, officials urged them to continue advancing scientific innovation and nurturing the next generation of learners.
Through this initiative, policymakers are calling on the entire academic community to sustain this momentum of excellence, positioning Togolese higher education as a competitive force on both regional and international platforms.
