The Minister of Education, Development, and Science of Somaliland, Prof. Ismail Ducaale Yusuf, who is on a work trip in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, held high-level talks with the officials of Alef Education — an international company specialized in developing educational technology.
The meeting was led by the General Manager of the company, Mr. Geoffrey Alphonso, and the two sides signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at advancing education in Somaliland, particularly in the areas of technology and modern educational services.
This agreement follows the recent visit of the President of the Republic of Somaliland, H.E. Abdirahman Abdillahi Cirro, to the United Arab Emirates, where he held meetings with the country’s leaders to strengthen bilateral cooperation. That visit resulted in the establishment of the major Burco Hospital, while this marks the second largest collaborative project between Somaliland and the UAE.
Alef Education is a UAE-based company that has won numerous international awards. The company provides modern educational services and technology to many countries, reaching over 1.6 million students across nations such as the United States, Indonesia, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
This new agreement is expected to significantly contribute to the development of education quality in Somaliland, as students, teachers, and the education management system will be supported with modern services and technology provided by Alef Education.
