Top 7 Least Educated Presidents In Africa by unuane1(m): 11:15am On Dec 08, 2015
These are few least educated
presidents in Africa, they have
the least or no education
background at all and are
currently ruling on the
continent of Africa.
They are:
1. Jacob Zuma- Republic of
South Africa
Zuma received no formal
schooling. The debate
surrounding South African
president Jacob Zuma’s lack
of formal education has been
a hot discussion topic for
years.Prince Mashele, CEO of
the Forum for Public Dialogue,
has been critical of Zuma’s
lack of formal education and
argued that Zuma is not fit to
rule.
2. Joseph Kabila- Democratic
Republic of Congo
Mr Kabila spent his childhood
in Tanzania and spoke better
kiSwahili and English than the
languages most spoken in
Kinshasa – French and
Lingala, which he had to learn
on the job. Following high
school, Joseph Kabila
followed a military curriculum
in Tanzania, then at Makerere
University in Uganda.
Winning DR Congo’s first
democratic elections in more
than 40 years at the tender
age of 35 gave him the
legitimacy to stamp his
authority on the country and
move out of his father’s
shadow. Joseph Kabila went
on to get further training at
the PLA National Deffense
University, in Beijing, China.
Apart from these the only
academic Certificates known
to be held Joseph Kabila is
High school Certificate.
3. Ismaïl Omar Guelleh –
Djbouti
Guelleh was born in dire
Dawa, Ethiopia, into the
politically powerful
Mamassan subclan of the
Issa Clan. When Guelleh was
younger he attended a
traditional Islamic school. In
the late 1960s, Guelleh
migrated to Djibouti before
finishing high school. He later
joined the police, becoming a
junior non-commissioned
officer.
The Highest level of formal
academic education known to
be attained by Guelleh is
secondary school although
He received training from the
Somali National Security
Service and then from the
French Secrete Service, and
was intended to become his
uncle’s successor. “The key
to Guelleh’s success is the
skillful way in which he has
played the cards in his strong
hand”, according to PINR.
4. Omar Hassan Ahmad al-
Bashir – Sudan
Omar Hassan Ahmad al-
Bashir did his Primary school
in the village of Hoshe
Bannaga and his secondary
education in Khartoum, apart
from these there is no
evidence of any other
academic qualifications
accredited to Omar Hassan.
He studied at the Egyptian
Military Academy in Cairo and
then at the Sudan Military
Academy in Khartoum from
where he graduated in 1966.
He Joined the Sudanese
Army and studied at the
Egyptian Military Academy in
Cairo and served in the Army
since then until he became
the president of Sudan.
5. Yahya Jammeh – Gambia
President Jammeh received a
secondary school education
in Bwiam. He received his
early education at Kanilai
Primary School, Saint
Edwards Primary School in
Bwiam, and Gambia high
School in Banjul.
In 1983 he passed the
General Certificate of
Education (GCE 0′ Level) with
Credits in Geography, English,
French, Biology and Physics.
Also obtained passes in
Chemistry and Oral English.
Jammeh joined the Gambian
National Army in 1984, was
commissioned a Lieutenant in
1989, and in 1992 became
commander of the Gambian
Military Police.He received
extensive military training in
neighboring Senegal and at
United States Army school.
6. Paul Kagame – Rwanda
Kagame began his primary
education in a school near the
refugee camp, where he and
other Rwandan refugees
learned English and began to
integrate into Ugandan
culture. At the age of nine he
moved to the respected
Rwengoro Primary School,
around 16 kilometres (10 mi)
away, graduating with the
best grades in the district. He
subsequently attended Ntare
School, one of the best
schools in Uganda.
It is also the alma mater of
future Ugandan President
Yoweri Museweni The death
of Kagame’s father in the
early 1970s, and the
departure of Rwigyema to an
unknown location, led to a
decline in his academic
performance and an
increased tendency to fight
those who belittled the
Rwandan population. He was
eventually suspended from
Ntare and completed his
studies without distinction at
Old Kampala Secondary
School. Kagame, did not
further academic his
education since then.
7. Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz
– Mauritania
Born in Akjouit, Mauritania in
1956, Abdel Aziz attended
college at the Royal Military
Academy of Morocco, which
led him to pursue a career in
the Mauritanian military, thus
he forfeited the possibility of
earning a high school
certificate.
He joined the Royal Military
Academy of Meknes, Moroco
in 1977 and, after a string of
promotions, established the
elite BASEP (Presidential
Security Battalion). He played
a key role in suppressing an
attempted coup in June 2003
and a military uprising in
August 2004. He received
Mauritania’s highest military
award for his role in stopping
the 2004 uprising. He has
earned much credit for his
work however Abdel Aziz is
one of the least educated
African Presidents.

Hmmm.
7 is quite odd and not attractive.

@op, increase the number to 10, and see as real wailers will wail.

I won't say more.
