About MoBSE Scholarships

MoBSE is an educational ministry in the Gambia and is responsible for seeing to the Basic secondary education there. Over the years, this body has continuously awarded various scholarships to Gambian students to enable them to pursue their dreams and become those they have dreamt of becoming.

What You Need To Know About MoBSE Scholarships 2023

Mission:

The Mission Statement of the Department of State for Education is embodied in the statement “A Responsive, Relevant and Quality Education for All Gambians.”

The MoBSE Education Plan and Programme:

The MoBSE Education Plan and Programme are not only all-inclusive. Still, they are particularly sensitive to the learning needs of all children, catering especially for the girl-child, women, the physically challenged, the youth, and the poor. The program covers the whole spectrum of education from the Basic level to Secondary, Vocational and Technical, Tertiary and University Education.

This is premised on the truism that one of the threats to rapid socio-economic development is illiteracy and ignorance. The government will continue its all-out war against illiteracy to achieve the triple objective of making education not only accessible but also relevant, of good quality and affordable.
