This actually makes me a lot more hopeful for the future of Somali educational system with just a bit more funding and stability Somali universities can easily be in the top 3 in the near future.

Flashback to Somali universities in the 70s and 80s

Somali international university campus view



Lafoole University , it used to be Africa's top university.

Astaan Tv made a documentary on the history of Lafoole University and the process of retrieving university documents that were lost during the destructive civil war.

They have retrieved a pretty sizable collection of documents.



This also made me a bit more hopeful that there is potential to re-integrate the past with the present, when rebuilding our educational system again.

Beautiful. I hope one day Somalia's educational system and institutions recover fully.

Still a useless university offering outdated courses like information technology, tourism, business. If it were serious, it would offer courses that benefit Somali society, such as engineering, programming, medicine, dentistry, and other meaningful fields that lead to jobs.

We know who we can thank. I am glad to see it pay off in front of us

Diaspora academics are returning to develop universities​

Diaspora academics are returning to develop universities

More and more Somali academics who left their country to study abroad, or who immigrated, are returning to home soil, even though salaries are dismal ...

A desire to contribute to nation-building and improve the standards of universities within Somalia is luring Somali intellectuals to return home to work in academia.
