8. What is Tullow Oil doing to invest in local educational institutions?

A core part of Tullow’s education and capacity building initiatives will be focused on strengthening academic institutions in countries in which Tullow has operations so that over time a number of these institutions can develop into centres of excellence. This will include support to tertiary level institutions (vocational training colleges, polytechnics and universities) and to promoting science in secondary schools through partnerships with internationally recognised institutions. The in-country institutional strengthening programme will complement the Tullow Group Scholarship Scheme and will mean that the need for scholarships in overseas institutions phases out over time and is replaced with scholarships to these internationally recognised in-country institutions.
