I think most parents care about their child's education and future but Somali parents do not have the right skills/knowledge to help steer their children along that path.

No they are just unaware of educations importance. 99% of Somalia is illiterate. There are no institutions such as schools. There's no hope in Somalia for success. Education is the path to success and when there is no path to success how are they to know the importance of education?
 
Why do third worlders marry young :faysalwtf:


Somalis need to stop thinking about marriage so young and get education and a career first.


Without these basics the next generation will also be in the same position as their parents
You can be married and go school your wife will be by ur side

Being illiterate doesn't strip away your common sense. They do know that's the only way out but their opportunities are non-existent or limited. Somalis had schools and institutions before the war, wax ku cusub ma'ahan. Plenty of those illiterate parents are risking their lives and living in cramped refugee camps so their children can have a better future.

What I'm talking about isn't common sense. Those without a college education wouldn't know the first thing about college. Somalia had very little institutions, they were only a handful. I'm talking about the ones back home, not the ones in the camps.

Common sense waxaa ka waday -caqli ku filan wee leeyihiin to know muhiimka wax barashada.

Some of my extended family live back home and the one thing they are most concerned about is their children's future iyo wax barashadooda.

My dad and my brothers pay for their tuition in Kenya. And there are other families like that. They want their kids to study and get a good job see wax isku taraan iyo beri ka maalin ehelkooda wax u taraan. There are also those who don't place much importance on it but they also exist in qurbaha.
 
I was married until a little while ago. It didn't feel like a real difference at first, but few months into it I realised a lot of subtle things changed. Once we had a child however, that was a complete game changer.

What I'm saying is not supposed to be offensive. They don't place importance because they don't know. Most Somalis are nomadic herders and that's their livelihood. They came to the west as refugees and not economic migrants.

I'm not offended sis. I get what you're saying. Our people have a long way to go. I don't think that just because they're illiterate it makes them indifferent or careless about their children's future. Even those nomadic herders know that "aqoon la'aan, waa iftiin la'aan" but what they consider useful knowledge is subject to their environment and understanding. Most of us were refugees but there are Somalis who came to the West before the war and those that came as students too.

I wasn't associating illiteracy with it, but it plays an important factor.
