AYOUB Posted February 13, 2005 Good news but what's the catch? Suldanka did you say 'here downUnder'? As for the Qarshe quote it goes some like aqoon la'aani waa iftiin la'aan waa aqal iyo ilays la'aan..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sky Posted February 13, 2005 good news. i heard about the mass campaign of "bringing somali kids back to school" of unicef for somalia earlier this month. the emphasis is increasing girl participation. they are going to build a large number of primary/secondary schools in NE somalia too with a minimum quota for girls, i dont know about south somalia. so if theres any catch, that would be that girl enrollment is forced on the parents. pretty good catch innit?

SOO MAAL Posted February 13, 2005 Definitely this is good news Education is power, and it could solve almost everything, also it is wise to eliminate ignorance that caused a lot of problems for Somalis. It is a noble act to invest in the future and educate succeeding generations.

Blessed Posted February 14, 2005 Qudhac lol.. Well I guess every tradition has an expiry date.. and since Burco it's the cultural capital.. change in the social context is bound to occure there....soon Hargaisawis too will be sitting in makhaayads, sipping shaah and bouncing poetic rythem of the walls. It's the in thing, I hear. LOL Originally posted by nuune: gute nachrichten in der Tat posted by soomaal quote: "If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people." ~~ Chinese proverb The chineese are way ahead of us. Not really, their education system is based on a capitalist ideology where the rich get access to an excellent level of schooling. and the poor get short changed by the state :rolleyes: Hence; providing a system that makes the rich richer and keeping the poor as they are. This creates and legitimizes a class divide – very bad for Somalis. Children of Somalia deserve better…insha Allah! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qudhac Posted February 15, 2005 Ameenah loool @ poetic rythem off the walls... very imaginative But seriously i agree with your about what exacly getting "education" means to different societies while in the west it probally is a part of the system to robatise as education is probaly the best weapon to turn individualls to part of the system make them milking cows of the future. but for somalis we have to adapt it to suit us and our soceities need for example we could drive qabiil ideology out using education, Education does not have to be about teaching kids how worthless you will be unless you make alot of money. we dont have to always follow the wests ideology instead we could follow the chinese or the arabs of yester years by encouraging a individuall to seek knowledge for the sake of "enlightenment" alone rather than financiall gain, by building acadamies of excellence. this way in the long term we will properly produce more visionaries, philosophers and great leaders.

LANDER Posted February 15, 2005 Originally posted by Ameenah: On the real though, why do some people assume Burcawis are such xaryamy reer miyis?

Since we are kickin around prejudice I might add that the quick tempered assumption may not be so far fetched with you folks, and a bit on the irrational side too . For real though, I'm ashamed to say I've never seen Burco it sounds like a must stop from the way some of my friends are nostalgic about it. Problem is I don't really have any fams in that neck of tha woods, so Ameenah care to show a lil reer burco hospitality ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suldaanka Posted February 15, 2005 AYOUB_SHEIKH, You heard that right bro. Laakin, I am still waiting... I mean for that email... loooooooool @Ameenah and Lander Waan ka helaa the dacaayadda between reer Hargeisa iyo rer Burco, it cracks me up. There was this reer Burco guy the otherday, who said: Horta kuwiinan reer Hargeysa, meydaan xishoonayn, maxaad inanta keeshali ugu iibin weydeen. Guess what he was refering to? Hargeisa's Naasa-hablood hills. lol UNICEF looks forward to join hands with everybody in that effort and particularly to the leadership of the Minister of Education. Hadal lagu diirsado ayuu ninkaas unicefta ka socdaa sheegay... It seems the ball is in our court now. Waa in imika a huge campaign la bilaabo oo Hal-abuurka iyo Heesaaga Dalku waa inay sameeyaan suugaan cusub iyo hal ku dhegyo walidiinta iyo caruurta lagu dhiirinaayo inay dugsiyadda u diraan caruurta. This is something we excell in, we are more than capable of that kind of campaigns. We need to milk this new change of heart from the Unicef. ~~~Waanada Macallinka~~~ Waxan ahay waadiga dugsiyada Waxaan ahay waanada macallinka Waagii beryaba Ubax laga waraabshoo Waxaan ku werweraynaa Waddankiina wax u barta Oo ogaada waajibkiina Wahsan mayno Ka waaban mayno Warwareegi maynoo Weecweecan maynee Guul wacan Nolol wanaagsan Iyo barwaaqo Nabad lagu wadaagoo Ha ku waaro waddankeenu Waddankeenu waa Wadnihii jidhkeena Waraabinaayey dhiigoo Waan ku wardiyeynaa ... ... ...

Guess what he was refering to? Hargeisa's Naasa-hablood hills. lol Lets just hope things are done right and proper, actions speaker louder than kalmadho. What are the priority subjects? Literature, ie reading/writing/pronounciation)somali/carabi/english) Health, ie looking after one's self with many diseases around. Education, ie making one determined to achieve success through some sort of system of education - probably more a govnt target. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
