MOGADISHU, Somalia – In yet another significant step towards enhancing the country’s educational system, the Prime Minister of Somalia, Hamsa Abdi Barre, inaugurated the 2023-2024 unified High School National Examination.

“Today is a great day that confirms one of the goals of the Somali people,” said Prime Minister Barre. “Education is a great goal that the government sees as a priority, like security. On the days when the exam is going on, we all have to be soldiers for the Ministry of Education and work with them to make the exam a success.”
The Prime Minister highlighted the importance of community involvement in ensuring the success of the examination process. He urged the Somali community to support the Ministry of Education and the security forces in their efforts to facilitate a smooth and secure examination process.

The unified High School national Examination is a crucial step in the academic journey of Somali students, and its successful conduct is a reflection of the government’s dedication to improving the country’s educational infrastructure.
