Armed with books, Somalia fights to standardize schools with first new curriculum since civil war began
NAIROBI - Every school day, Shuayb Muhidin travels Mogadishu’s battle-scarred streets to get to Banadir Zone School. For years, the government has battled Islamist insurgents but now authorities are also turning to a new challenge: schools like Muhudin’s.
The start of this school year marks the first time since the civil war broke out in 1991 that the government has issued a new curriculum for primary and secondary school students. Muhidin’s school, for example, used Kenyan textbooks but 2 million textbooks printed in Somali have been issued to pupils in most of Somalia since August and their schools have synchronized academic terms, the ministry of education said.
Schools sourced textbooks from more than 10 countries during the civil war and English and Arabic replaced Somali as the language of instruction.
