Overview
The University of Labé is a public higher education institution established in 2017 in the Fouta Djallon highlands of northern Guinea. As part of Guinea’s decentralization of higher education, it serves the educational needs of the country’s northern regions. The university focuses on programs relevant to local economic development, particularly in agriculture, mining technology, and teacher training.
With a current enrollment of approximately 2,500 students, the University of Labé operates across two campuses in the city. The institution maintains partnerships with local industries and agricultural cooperatives to provide students with practical training opportunities in Guinea’s important mining and farming sectors.
