As every body knows, since 1991 the system of education in Somalia was collapsed. In Somalia , parents and teachers began reopening schools in their own resource, because they know the importance of education. Education has the ability to open the minds of people and bring them in contact with the rest of the world. Somalis travel a lot to the world, so their demand of learning is high, but facilities are very limited in Somalia .
Lack of qualified teachers and poor school facilities was the worst problem facing education in Somalia . Teacher training and university level teachers were the dream of the community. Fortunately, East Africa University makes the dream true and opens a faculty of education in Bosaso, which is a tremendously growing city. East Africa University is the one of the universities in Somalia , who fulfilled the educational requirements of the community.
Our common approach is that the focus of education development should to develop a faculty of education who produces qualified teachers and that new skilled teachers will change the system of education and methodology of teaching in Somalia .
