Somalina Posted July 14, 2011 Thursday, July 14, 2011 Somalia has its many challenges as it faces its worst drought in 60 years, however, there is a good news to celebrate as the country moves its plans to invest in its future. Nearly 1,000 high school graduates have registered for standard tests in Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia to attempt a chance at scholarships. This is the first time that Somali refugees outside of Somalia will participate in these competitions. Currently, students at Dadaab Refugee Camps only receive up to high school education and many are left without any formal education beyond high school. Over 200 Somali Refugee students in Kenya including Refugees from Dadaab Refugee camps will compete for national scholarships for Higher Education. The Ministry planned to include refugee students in Yemen to also participate, however, security conditions there halted the plan. Students will be tested on Math, Science (Chemistry, Biology and Physics), Social Studies and Islamic Studies. Tests will be given in Arabic and English. Ten students selected from the Refugees in Dadaab and the other camps will be awarded $500 dollar grants towards their education donated by the Somali Business Community of Nairobi. Some of students with a passing score from these national tests held in Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia will be granted 2011 scholarships granted to Somalia by friendly states while others will receive Somali Government scholarships for local Somali Higher Education Institutions. The Somali Minister of Education, Culture and Higher Education, Dr. Abdinur Sheikh Mohamed Mohamud, will hold a ceremony honoring Somali students who will be pursing a higher education. The ceremony being held today in the Somali Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, will bring a ray of light to many Somali Students who will receive scholarships and full tuition assistance towards higher education institutions. Somalia’s Ministry of Education, Culture and Higher Education in Somalia is committed to improving the delivery of education in Somalia and to restore the quality of the educational system years ago. The Ministry believes education is the pathway for conflict resolution,peaceful co-existence, human and National Development.

We want the world to know how talented and educated Somalia’s youth can be if we invest in them now. We are building amongst the suffering, but with an investment in education, you can never lose,” Said Minister Dr. Mohamud.

Wasiirka wax barashada ee Soomaaliya Dr. Cabdi Nuur Sheikh Maxamed Maxamuud oo ka hadlay xaflad ballaaran oo loo sameeyay markii ay ardadu imtixaankii dhammeeyeen ayaa u mahad celiyay waaladiintii ku soo dadaalay ilmahooda, isagoo sheegay in waxbarashadu ay tahay waddada kaliya ee horumar lagu gaari. Wasiirka ayaa ka dhawaajiyay in ardayda hela buundooyinka ugu sarreeya ay xaq u yeelan doonaan inay ka faa’iidaystaan minxooyinka ay wadamada dibaddu ugu deeqeen Soomaaliya, isagoo ballan qaaday in si cadaalad ah natiijada loo soo bandhigi doono. “Waxaa idiin sheegayaa in imtixaanka maanta loo fariistay , uu noqon doono waddada kaliya ee looga faa’iidaysan karo waxbarashada jaamacadeed ee naloo ku deeqo, waxaanan isticmaali doonnaa nidaamka caalamiga ah ee hufnaanta iyo eexasho la’aanta , iyadoo ay fursadaha heli doonaan oo kaliya ardayda xaqa u yeelata”.Ayuu yiri Dr. Cabdinuur.

Safiirka Soomaaliya ee Kenya Maxamed Cali Ameerika oo khudbad dhiiri galin ah u soo jeediyay ardayda imtixaanka u fariisatay ayaa kula dardaarmay inay sii wadaan horumarinta mustaqbalkooda, isagoo sheegay in wax barashadu ay tahay waddada kaliya ee arrintaas ay ku xaqiijin karaan. Waxaana uu safiirku halkaas ku guddoonsiiyay 10 arday oo ka timid xeryaha qaxootiga midkiiba $300, lacagtaas oo uu safiirku ku tilmaamay inay sare u qaadayso mooraalka ardayda ku dhaqan qaxootiyaasha oo duruuf aad u adag wax ku barta.

Som@li Posted July 14, 2011 300 students? a country of 10 Million, it is nothing to be happy about, It is better to have a good educations system locally, This will not fill the gabs, but better than nothing. Somalia is suffering the worlds worse brain drain, where the people with education skills have almost disappeared, and it is hard to rebuild a nation without a people with the capacity to rebuild!
