"My mother became the breadwinner of my family comprising 10 children. Due to heavy fighting in Mogadishu in 2006 between government forces allied with Ethiopian forces and clan militias we shifted to Adado district in Galmudug state [central Somalia]," Mohamud Hussein told Sputnik Africa in an interview.
"When I am in class I really enjoy teaching young children, I cope very well with the harsh environment in my country and can adapt my teaching method," Hussein remarked.
Education in Somalia
"By and large most of our schools in Somalia share the same challenges which include lack of enough classrooms, teaching aid materials and lack of enough trained teachers," Mohamud remarked.
"The federal government in hand with regional governments have established teaching colleges to train teachers and that also made more students enroll in teaching colleges which will run for two years," Mohamud concluded.
