The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Libya’s interim Government of National Unity said around 2,000 students, who were studying abroad, didn’t return to the country although their scholarship term has expired.

Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Dr. Imran al-Qeib stated that 1,922 students from all Libyan universities received scholarships to study abroad “but their expedition ended, and they didn’t submit documents justifying their stay outside the country.”
