Somaliland schooling standards have undergone unpredictable situations since it reclaimed its independence from the rest of what was formerly known as a Somali Democratic Republic in 1991, it seems that a cross section of younger adults are growing up without access to high quality standards of the basic education. A higher standard of educational quality is indispensably necessary for the “future posterity” of any nation in the world; schools are the industries that could produce tomorrow’s future leaders. Nations in the world whose governments have made swift economic miracles are those who had modified the systematic approaches to their educational standards. In recent years, the number of educational establishments has increased to a great extent that is beyond the limit. Much to our sorrow, the majority of these schools could not provide with the type of the educational norms essentially required to offer our children mainly due to a lack of solid trainings of an educational enhancement on the part of our teachers, coupled with a scarcity of educational infrastructure. In addition, two parallel contrasting systems came into existence, a public educational system formally controlled by the government, and a relatively stronger private educational system run by privately owned individuals, each system belongs to its own curriculum and cultural behaviors, too, as there are no other means of educational guidelines to be followed. As usual, the government of Somaliland tacitly approved that each student has to pass the secondary examination as part of student motivation; as a result this has contributed to the dramatic decline in the quality performance of our national educational strategy. Primary education is the benchmark where student’s base of knowledge acquisition starts in the formative years of childhood, that means if the student gains a better quality of classroom performances under this grade of education, he will be able to get a chance to easily adjust with all the pre-requisite core courses at any level of secondary step in education and beyond, without further ado. In the context of Somaliland, the primary education has become a neglected issue, where a large proportion of our students frequently secure unsatisfactory records in the examination marks, and the Ministry of Education has not yet found a solution to the peculiarity of this situation due to the fact that the teachers under this category are not well equipped in terms of qualifications, trainings, experience, and teaching methodology as well. Today, there are two channels of education namely: the private schools and public schools. The private institutions have poached the highly qualified teachers from the public because they could afford to offer an attractive payroll, whereas the public teachers frequently face two harsh scenarios of being “underpaid” and “under qualified”. As a matter of fact, the private schools are relatively more advanced than the public from the perspective of educational standards; even though, they charge higher tuition fees which are too costly to the local ordinary citizens in our country. The outcome of this scenario will involve generational gaps in our homogenous society, in near the future – a tiny “meritocratic elite” with academic excellence, and majority groups who will be virtually “semi-illiterates.” In the light of current circumstances, it is the ultimate responsibility of the government to set up coherent educational policies to overcome these dreadful gaps before the situation has gone into paroxysm of despair. The number of higher education institutions has increased in the bygone years. Currently, there are around 19 university colleges in Hargeisa with similar academic programs, most of these universities are profit oriented whose main goals are only just how to secure brisk financial gains over our youngsters without offering any tangible educational compensation as a result. How it is logically possible to give the accreditation of such bogus colleges whereby only two or three higher educational institutions could accommodate the overall requirements of such educational facilities. A “political expedient” of having a mass production of college graduates with a poor quality is better than having a few numbers of college graduates but with a top notch educational quality. Our College graduates of today could hardly write an application letter of one paragraph in correct English, let alone read a story in any version of English book. How to upgrade our educational system? The government has to take the overall responsibility of the quality management in education both the public and private institutions To place a special emphasis on the primary education by recruiting highly professional teachers and have to be motivated by offering a wide package of incentives and other remunerative benefits. Under this process, gender based potential teachers should be encouraged. Government should allocate a wide package of funds in its budget for the promotion of educational performances to compete with the private institutions. Languages, Math’s and Science should be given a top priority consideration; students should be encouraged to study this field of knowledge. Teachers’ Training Colleges should be established all across regions in order to produce a number of qualified teachers who could be served as fully-fledged instructors for both the Primary and Secondary Schools. Constant refreshment trainings should be offered to teachers during school leaves as part of updating their level of knowledge. Qualified Inspectors for the Primary and Secondary schools should be put into operational to evaluate and assess the teaching methods of the teachers To establish the Vocational Training Centers (VTC) to cover the increasing demand for professional skills in the labor market. To rate and then limit the number of universities from at least three to four universities with the faculties applicable to our current priorities. The undergraduate university teachers should have a minimum Master’s degree from a recognized higher institution with a proven track record in the field of teaching.

HARGEISA– Immigration police arrested Ms. Naima Abwan Qorane yesterday while she was about to depart from Egal airport in Hargeisa, Somaliland capital. Ms. Naima was due to catch a flight to Mogadishu, the capital of war-torn Somalia and her parents confirmed the detention of their daughter. She has been living in Mogadishu as she publicly admitted that she is a staunch believer of Somalia unity. She made speeches calling for the unification of Somaliland and Somalia to form the greater Somalia. Ms. Naima lobbies for her ideology via the social media without hiding her agenda. It is not known if Somaliland police arrest Ms. Naima for her federalism beliefs. Somaliland authority has a zero tolerance policy towards its citizens that travel to Mogadishu and publicly claim that they are campaigning for Somali unification. Somaliland government has not issued a statement regrading the arrest of Ms. Naima and the motive behind her detention. Ms. Naima is a Somaliland by birth. This is a video Ms. Naima delivered a speech in Mogadishu.

The African Union on Friday urged Mauritania to make a greater effort to eliminate slavery after the country handed out lenient sentences to a family of slave owners in a landmark conviction. Said Ould Salem and his brother Yarg were born into slavery in the West African nation and forced to work every day from an early age by a wealthy family, campaigners said. Their owner was found guilty in Mauritania’s first ever prosecution for slavery in 2011, but was sentenced to only two years in prison while the law required five to ten years, said UK charity Anti-Slavery International. This verdict puts a lot of pressure on Mauritania to take slavery seriously. He has yet to be jailed, pending appeal, and other members of the family walked free, the campaign group said. In a statement published online, the African Union (AU)’s Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child said that all members of the family should be given sentences commensurate to their crimes. Mauritania should also “give due regard to the issue of slavery and make the elimination… one of its priorities,” the pan-African body said. “This verdict puts a lot of pressure on Mauritania to take slavery seriously,” said Jakub Sobik, a spokesman for Anti-Slavery International. The AU also recommended that Said and Yarg, now teenagers, receive psychosocial support, schooling and compensation. Mauritania was the last country in the world to abolish slavery in 1981, and has one of the highest rates of slavery in the world, with 1 in 100 people living as slaves, according to the 2016 Global Slavery Index. Slavery is a historical practice in Mauritania, where dark-skinned ethnic groups make up the main “slave caste”, often working as domestic servants and cattle herders. A new anti-slavery law in 2015 doubled the prison term for perpetrators to 20 years, but in its second prosecution a year later Mauritania gave two slave owners only five-year sentences. “The problem is that there is a law criminalsing slavery, but it’s not respected,” said Lucy Claridge, legal director for Minority Rights Group International, which helped bring Said and Yarg’s case to the African Union. The country is due to host two high-level AU meetings this year, which could increase pressure, she said. “This is a fantastic decision. I very much hope that it’s taken seriously,” Claridge told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

ADDIS ABABA – The leaders of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan will meet on Monday in a bid to break a deadlock in negotiations over a hydroelectric dam Addis Ababa is building along its share of the Nile river, two official sources said on Sunday. Cairo – solely dependent on the Nile for its water – is at odds with Ethiopia over the construction of the Grand Renaissance Dam, which it fears could reduce waters cascading down from Ethiopian highlands and through the deserts of Sudan to its fields and reservoirs. Ethiopia says the $4 billion-dam will have no such impact. “The aim is to agree on the resumption of the consultations,” said a diplomat attending an African Union summit in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, where the three leaders are gathered. The diplomat was speaking on condition of anonymity. An Egyptian government source confirmed that Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi would participate, saying he extended his stay to do so. Sisi will meet Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, according to the diplomat. Discussions have been deadlocked for months over the wording of a study on the dam’s environmental impact. In December, Egypt proposed that the World Bank be allowed to help settle the dispute, a call dismissed by Ethiopia. Countries that share the Nile river have argued over the use of its waters for decades – and analysts have repeatedly warned that the disputes could eventually boil over into conflict. A bone of contention for both Ethiopia and Egypt is the speed at which the dam’s reservoir would be filled. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam – now over 60 percent complete and which will churn out 6,000 MW upon completion – is centerpiece to the country’s ambitious power exporting plans. Reuters

Ethiopian middle-distance runner Samuel Tefera (Getty Images)amuel Tefera, Ethiopia, sport, Athletics Ethiopian teenager Samuel Tefera provided the unexpected highlight of the Meeting Elite en Salle de Leure in Val de Reuil on Saturday (27) when he broke the world U20 indoor 1500m record* with a world-leading 3:36.05. Tefera, who represented Ethiopia at the IAAF World Championships London 2017 after winning their national trial race, was competing in the first indoor race of his burgeoning career. But his youth and relative inexperience proved no barrier as he comfortably beat 2012 world indoor champion and 2015 world bronze medallist Abdalaati Iguider. Tefera crossed the line in 3:36.05 to take 0.23 off the previous world U20 indoor record set by Belal Mansoor Ali in 2007. Iguider, the 2012 Olympic bronze medallist, finished second in 3:36.87 with fellow Moroccan Brahim Kaazouzi taking third in a PB of 3:37.15.
