In 2009, the University of Ngozi (UNG) celebrated its 10th anniversary, 10 years of struggle for existence that allowed him to integrate the network of the best universities in East Africa.
The private University of Ngozi, the first created in Burundi and inside the country, was born thanks to the decision of the Constituent Assembly on 17 April 1999 and was approved by the Ministerial Ordinance No. 530/264 May 7, 1999.
At the time, the Burundian education system knew a significant increase in enrollment in secondary education and the situation could lead to a deadlock if nothing were done at higher education. The creation of the University of Ngozi then came to support and relieve the only public university that existed previously in Burundi, which was already over-staffed (7000 students for 4000 cars in 1999). The objective was to support the development of higher education in a country that then had a student population for 1000, a figure well below the already low average African (3 students per 1000 inhabitants in 1999).
Imagined in civil war, the community project that gave birth to the UNG also aimed to provide young Burundian an alternative to violence, allowing them to continue studying despite the conflict. In fact, the only university at the time, the public University of Burundi, has been particularly subjected to violence and community rifts that have bloodied the country. Students of the first promotions of the University of Ngozi (released in 2003) began studies at the University of Burundi, studies they had to abandon because of violence and the climate of fear prevailing in Bujumbura, including University.
