In a ceremony celebrating dedication and excellence, the Somaliland Ministry of Education, Training, and Science has awarded certificates of recognition to four female employees from the National Examinations Office. They were honored for their exceptional contributions to the successful administration of the 2024–2025 national certificate examinations.
The event was attended by senior officials including Minister Prof. Ismail Duale Yusuf, Deputy Minister Mohamed Facul, Director General Abdirahman Hussein Hirsi, and Chairman of the National Examinations Office, Daud Ahmed Farah. Together, they celebrated the staff’s hard work, transparency, and unwavering commitment to ensuring the examinations were conducted smoothly and fairly.
These individuals played a pivotal role in managing this critical process, which serves as a cornerstone of Somaliland’s education system. Their integrity and extraordinary effort were crucial in upholding the credibility of the examinations, directly impacting the futures of thousands of students and strengthening public trust.
“This recognition is more than an award; it is a national statement that hard work, innovation, and integrity are valued and celebrated,” stated Minister Yusuf. “These women have set a powerful example for public servants across Somaliland, demonstrating that dedication to our nation’s progress is both seen and appreciated.”
This initiative underscores Somaliland’s broader commitment to fostering a culture of excellence within its public sector. By honoring these employees, the Ministry aims to inspire all educators and public servants to strive for the highest standards of professionalism and accountability.
The recognition comes amid ongoing efforts to strengthen Somaliland’s education system, including nationwide inspection campaigns to ensure examination integrity and comprehensive curriculum reviews. Rewarding such dedication is a key step in building a motivated workforce capable of driving the nation’s educational progress.
This move is expected to set a precedent for other government institutions to acknowledge outstanding contributions, further solidifying Somaliland’s reputation for its commitment to fairness and excellence in education.
