Our nation, Somalia, has long been known for its rich tradition of learning and its deep respect for education. For generations, knowledge has been at the heart of Somali society, shaping our identity and strengthening our communities. Today, we are renewing that proud legacy.
I extend my heartfelt best wishes to more than 44,000 students as they sit for Somalia's Unified National Grade 12 Secondary School Examinations. These examinations will be conducted across 158 centres nationwide, reflecting both the scale of our progress and our commitment to ensuring that every young Somali has the opportunity to succeed.
I am particularly proud that the number of candidates has increased by more than 5,000 compared with 2025.
This progress is the result of improved security, the recruitment of more teachers, the liberation of areas once under the control of Khawaarij terrorist groups, and sustained educational reforms aimed at building a highly skilled and educated Somalia.
This remarkable growth reflects expanding access to education, the resilience of Somali families, and our administration's determination to invest in the future of our children.
This year, we expect a total of 67,051 students to graduate from secondary school across Somalia.
Our vision as DanQaran is clear: to provide every child with quality education, unlock their full potential, and prepare a new generation of leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs and professionals who will build a prosperous and self-reliant Somalia.
I commend the Ministry of Education, our dedicated teachers, parents, and all those who have contributed to this important milestone.
To our students, I say this: the future of Somalia is being written in classrooms today, and each of you holds a pen. Your dreams matter. Your efforts matter. Dream without limits, work with determination, and believe in your ability to achieve greatness.
Your success is Somalia's success. Your future is Somalia's future.
May Allah grant you wisdom, confidence and outstanding results. May He guide you towards a future filled with knowledge, opportunity and service to our beloved nation.
