Hargeysa, Somaliland, April 21, 2012 (SL Times) – The Chairman of the
Examinations Committee of the ministry of education, Da’ud Ahmed Farah
disclosed that Somaliland gets the largest number of scholarships from
Sudan. He also noted that Somaliland received a few scholarships from
Yemen.
When it comes to Ethiopia, he noted that the government of the Somali
region of Ethiopia had given 100 scholarships to Somaliland students,
but that in general, the number of scholarships to Ethiopia has
decreased from what it used to be. Mr Da’ud Ahmed Farah revealed this
information in an interview with Haatuf Newspaper while he was in
Gabiley.
The Chairman of the Examinations Committee bemoaned the fact that
students abroad have no regular contacts with neither the ministry of
education nor with the examinations committee, and that students get in
touch with the ministry only when they need something from it.
Da’ud Ahmed Farah praised the current Minister of Education, Zamzam Abdi
Adan and said she energized the teachers and the ministry through her
frequent inspection visits designed to appraise her of the real
conditions first hand.
Speaking about the academic performance of Somaliland students, he said
the areas where they are weakest are: mathematics, Arabic, English and
religious studies.
