Educational Challenges in Somalia

The Mogadishu-based Heritage Institute for Policy Studies just published a study titled "Educational Challenges in Post-transitional Somalia: Case Study Mogadishu" by Abdullahi Sh. Adam Hussein, Qatar National Research Fund.

The study is based on information collected in Benadir region and focused entirely on formal basic schooling or the K-12 education system.  It identified the following as the major challenges: too much variation in curriculum, differences in language of instruction, and teachers with inadequate training.
