A local Somaliland Abaarso student is a finalist for the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship.
She will have a full ride, all expenses covered, study at Oxford University.
I lost count of how many Somalilander locals were sent to prestigious international institutions. What is great about these Abaarso students is they all come back and work in Somaliland, some of them are now teachers in Somaliland schools.
In 5-10 years, Somaliland's education sector will be huge, and surrounding regions in Somalia and Ethiopia will pay top dollar for a place at SL schools and universities.
