13 October 2011 - Interpeace local partner in Somaliland, The Academy for Peace and Development (APD), organized an event on 2 October 2011 in Hargeisa, to honour the highest-ranking female graduates of both secondary and intermediate schools.

 

This initiative is part of the overall push for female education and empowering women to take an active role in driving the future of Somaliland.

 

The event followed the official announcement by Somaliland’s Minister of Education, Mrs. Zamzam Abdi Adan, of the national examination results for secondary and intermediate schools for the 2010-2011 school year.

Notable participants of the event included Somaliland’s First Lady, H. E. Amina-Waris Sh. Mohamed Jirde, the only two female MPs, Mrs. Fatima Jama from the House of Elders and Mrs. Baar Saeed from the House of Representatives, government officials, the top five highest-ranking female graduates of both intermediate and secondary schools, parents, and schools principals and teachers from the districts of Sheikh, Gabiley and Hargeisa.
