In a significant move to recognize dedication and excellence, the Somaliland Ministry of Education, Training, and Science has honored four female employees of the National Examinations Office with certificates of recognition for their exceptional contributions to the 2024–2025 national certificate examinations.
The ceremony, led by Minister Prof. Ismail Duale Yusuf, Deputy Minister Mohamed Facul, and Director General Abdirahman Hussein Hirsi, and Chairman of the Somaliland National Examinations Office, Daud Ahmed Farah celebrated the employees’ hard work, transparency, and commitment to ensuring the smooth execution of the exams.
The honored staff members demonstrated extraordinary effort and integrity in managing the critical national examinations, which serve as a cornerstone of Somaliland’s education system.
Their work has been pivotal in upholding the credibility and fairness of the examination process, directly impacting the future of thousands of students and reinforcing public trust in the education system.
“This recognition is not just an award but a national statement that hard work, innovation, and integrity are valued and celebrated,” said Minister Yusuf during the ceremony. “These women have set a powerful example for public servants across Somaliland, showing that dedication to our nation’s progress is seen and appreciated.”
The initiative reflects Somaliland’s broader commitment to fostering a culture of excellence within its education sector. By publicly honoring these employees, the Ministry aims to inspire other public servants and educators to strive for higher standards of professionalism and accountability.
The National Examinations Office plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of Somaliland’s education system, with its transparent and reliable processes serving as a benchmark for quality education.
This recognition comes at a time when Somaliland is intensifying efforts to strengthen its education system, as evidenced by recent initiatives such as nationwide inspection campaigns to ensure examination integrity and curriculum reviews to improve educational quality. The Ministry’s focus on rewarding dedication is seen as a step toward building a motivated workforce capable of driving Somaliland’s education progress.
This move is expected to set a precedent for other government institutions to recognize and reward outstanding contributions, further solidifying Somaliland’s reputation as a nation committed to fairness and excellence in education.
