were local farmers from the north, who could not send their children to school. Dr.
Kamara did not have the opportunity to attend a primary (elementary) school, but
was able to educate himself through self-reading effort and help of friends who were
attending schools. After a few years of devoted reading in English and practice in
Mathematics, he went to take an admission entrance examination in Mathematics
and English at the Ahmadiyya Secondary School – Freetown. Dr. Kamara’s
performance in that examination gained him an admission to form three (ninth grade).
After passing his O’level exams, Dr. Kamara could not afford to go to the university because he could not get
a scholarship or pay to cover the cost. He took his fi rst job as a Road Overseer Learner with the Ministry of

Three months later, Dr. Kamara was hired and sent to training school by the Post and Telecommunications
department. Because of his academic performance at the training school, he was awarded a scholarship to
