Hargeysa, Somaliland, August 14, 2010 (SL Times) – A Graduation ceremony for Hargeysa’s school for the deaf, for the 2009/10 academic year, was held at Hotel Sumer Time.

During this well organized ceremony, certificates and prizes were handed to students who graduated from the school.

Speaking to the audience, the Director of the School, Yasmin, said, “The eight grade students sit for exams that meet international standards and are administered by Somaliland’s ministry of education.”

She also pointed out that there are students who used to study in the school but did not graduate, and she put the blame on their parents because they are not taking responsibility for the education of their children.

Yasmin also urged Somaliland’s citizens to reject the idea that deaf people do not need formal education. She appealed to Somalilanders and everyone else to help the school.
