Hargeysa, Somaliland, March 13, 2010 (SL Times) – The Minister of State for Education Mr Mohamud Muhammad Garad said that the rapid increase in the number of private universities could pose a problem for Somaliland’s educational system when it comes to the quality of education and the standardization of the curriculum. The minister gave this warning in a conference at the University of Hargeysa.
The minister pointed out that very often these private universities are established without permission from the ministry of education and then when the government tries to close them the government is accused of hampering education.
The purpose of the conference was to evaluate the curriculum of the university’s various departments. Among the participants in the conference were the president of the university, the vice president, the chairmen as well as the deputy chairmen of the university’s departments. The conference took place in the new building of the University of Hargeysa and was scheduled to go on for five days.
