Ibtisam Posted June 12, 2011 From What I know Abaarso Tech is indeed for everyone; I jokingly asked "Do you ask the students clans" and they dont. As for the No Somali anywhere in the campus policy; I happen to approve, all the other students in other university have degrees or even postgraduate qualifications, but outside of the text books/ specific subject, they have yet to master the English language to an acceptable standard to allow them to take advantage of opportunities after finishing. Somaliland is full of such people, and practice makes it perfect, this will just speed up their learning process so they can keep up with the curriculum.

JS is supposed to bring some of the kids to Boston area to visit Worcester Academy. The Students were pen-pals to each other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abu-Salman Posted June 12, 2011 Abaarso is on the Western outskirt of Hargeysa and used to be not long ago its major milk supplier; how sad even such a place is threatened with desertification and enclosures, while adulterated milk is supplied accross the Ethiopian border. Maybe deservedly so, since we rally around corrupt politicians and elders for whom the environment or getting at least one surgeon or other health trainers for a major town are the last concerns (why bother anyway since they get treated in Addis or London). Back to education, foreign agendas have their own "social engineering" priorities (with "gender equality" and "fostering critical enquiry" as smokescreens); irrigation, surgery and other practical skills that really matters may need to be fostered through cooperation with Sudaneses, Pakistanis or even Cubans who are exporting cheap medical expertise worlwide while offering first class public services to their needy citizens...
