Education Cannot Wait (ECW), a global organization that funds education of children in war-torn places, has lauded Somalia’s Minister of Education for providing stellar leadership.
ECW expressed gratitude to Abdullahi Godah Barre, the Minister of Education, Culture, and Higher Education for his leadership and commitment to children in crises.
Somalia has a large population of children who are studying under some of the most severe conditions.
Decades of war, a dysfunctional government, insecurity, and humanitarian crises have colluded to make it harder for children to study under an enabling environment.
However, ECW recognizes the efforts that Barre has made to ensure that Somali children receive quality education.
On his part, Barre welcomed the partnership and funds from ECW that has made work easier for his ministry to bring education closer to children in the most vulnerable communities.
