is my somali bad or does this not seem like a second grade material? It does give a children's education vibe at the same time it does not.

This is too hard for 2nd graders. Seems more suitable for the 5th grade.

Education back then was so good, I’m impressed. I can’t believe that 2nd graders had to do this. I didn’t do geography until year 7

I had to keep re-reading the text since it was a little hard for me which shows how ambitious education planners were back then. They clearly wanted 7/8 year olds to have a wide vocabulary and an above average understanding of Somalia’s geography, which is advanced for 7/8 year olds and would’ve been even more complicated as the year groups progressed.

If all textbooks for second graders were like this across all the important subjects like Maths, the Sciences and history, we could’ve had education be an important part of our society, kinda like South Korea or China. If we followed this path, we would’ve been the most educated in the region

It’s pretty basic imo, it includes different types of vehicles, their purposes, livestock, roads and their uses, different plants and their habitats. Granted this would be considered a bit too advanced for second graders nowadays.
