- English (US)
It means Speaker Abadula Gemeda says that he has taught at universities outside of his home country and other places of learning ("institutions") outside of his home country.
When you say "according to," you are saying that person said that. It leaves room for doubt.
"According to my mother, I was a difficult child." = my mother says I was a difficult child. It could be true or it could be false, but my mother says it is true.
