Ufuk High School, a Turkish school in the Malian capital of Bamako, held a commencement ceremony for its graduating seniors on Wednesday at which President Toure delivered a speech. Praising the high quality education provided at Ufuk High School, he said, “I would like to thank everyone -- our teachers in particular -- who contributes to the education of our children.” With 31 graduates this year, 100 percent of Ufuk High School seniors passed last year's high school graduation exams. The most successful students in Bamako in the fields of mathematics and social sciences are those from the Turkish school. Drawing attention to the international successes of Ufuk High School students, Toure said, “This shows that our children can also be successful.” Toure's daughter Lobbo Coulibal is a student at a Turkish school. She came to Ankara recently as part of 7th Turkish Olympiads held in Turkey in June. She was among a group of participants who visited Turkish President Abdullah Gül. During his speech, Toure also delivered his compliments to the Turkish government and Gül, whom he called his close friend. Turkish schools in Mali began operating in 2003 with 68 students. There are three elementary schools, one high school for girls and one high school for boys in Bamako.
