The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture of the Republic of Somaliland—accompanied by the Deputy Governor of Togdheer Region, several departmental directors from the Ministry, and the Togdheer Regional Education Officer—officially launched the Back-to-School Campaign for the 2026–2027 Academic Year across the Togdheer Region.
