Abstract
Somaliland is a semi-autonomous quasi-state in the Horn of Africa,whose independence has yet to be recognized by the internationalcommunity. Though there has been significant diaspora andreturnee investment in private schools in Somaliland, state schoolsare severely underfunded, and teachers across both educationsystems are paid hourly, teaching in multiple schools at once toearn a full-time salary. The Ministry of Education and HigherEducation lacks the capacity for effective monitoring of all schoolsin Somaliland. This has led to the importation of multiple rivalcurricula which exist in competition with the state curriculum.Teachers make difficult decisions in navigating these differentcurricula, but this means that the intended message of curriculumreform rarely makes it to the classroom. In light of this situation,rigorous teacher training is needed to help empower teachers tosupport their students effectively. Such training must be designedin consultation with teachers, so as not to add more pressure to their lives.
