350 students from Somali to receive education in Turkey

As part of Turkey's efforts aimed at healing the wounds in Somali, which has been fighting famine and drought, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) named "Is Anybody There" and the Somali Education Ministry yesterday jointly held an examination aimed at selecting 350 university and high school students to be educated with scholarship funds in Turkey. The students, mostly from Mogadishu, fell into long lines in front of five examination centers to enjoy a brighter future. The NGO's representative to Somali Bilal Celik said, "The students living here know that they can enjoy better conditions in Turkey with regard to education and life quality. Therefore they're considerably willing to receive education in Turkey. They primarily aim to complete their education in Turkey and return to their country to serve as a good physician, engineer or another professional."
