Somaliland education


Somaliland’s education is in a good shape. However, they could improve it. If they improve their educational system, then they could improve their future country. Education is very important to the country’s future. The students are the future leaders of a country.
I have been to several schools in Hargeisa. What I saw wasn’t great. The teachers don’t even take the classes serious. The students take the teachers as role models and do what they do. Many students cheat on important exams like the 8th grade exam. The student that has cheated might get into high school without getting caught. This student is not going to do well in secondary school because he has cheated. This will yield citizens that don’t help the country much. However, if the students take their education serious, then the country might benefit significantly.
The government should strive to improve the education of Somalilanders. The future of Somaliland depends on its youth. The better they are educated the more they will benefit their country, eventually leading to recognition. They should bring teachers that take their jobs seriously. This might be one of the reasons the country is not recognized.
Somaliland is a great country that can get recognition if they fix the small obstacles that are hindering its recognition. These are easy to fix or improve. Somaliland’s education system is very important to its youth and its future. So, if they just improve the education, than the country will definitely be in a good shape.

Mogi's trip to Ethiopia

The trip to Ethiopia was exciting since I have never been to Ethiopia. We saw a different lifestyle. We left the school to Wajaale and took a different bus; which was better. Then we left to Diridhaba and had fun on the way. We saw a new environment. We arrived at Diridhaba in the afternoon and stayed there for the night. The hotel wasn't good. We found some condoms in the room, and we had to sleep two people on each bed. The next day we left early at about 5 a.m. to Addis Ababa. The ride was good too. The bus was far better.

We arrived in Addis Ababa in the afternoon. The hotels were slightly better but not what I expected. However, we had good time in Addis. We ate good food. The next day, we went to Addis Ababa university to check out the place we were going to take the exam. It was a good place.

Then we took the exam the following day. It was okay. I think I did okay. People were saying something about cheating, but I didn't saw any cheating. For the rest of the day we had fun. Some people went shopping but I was watching movies.

Then we came back to AT.
