Nepotism and Its Impact on Education and Youth Employment in Somalia

One of the issues troubling many parts of Africa including education and employment is Nepotism or discrimination. In both public offices and private organizations, nepotism is always a constant factor when it comes to hiring policies; this too has caused many issues for institutions and even societies. In this post, we will discuss the relationship between nepotism, education and youth employment as this is a major challenge for equal opportunities which further leads to economic disparity. 

Mid ka mid ah arrimaha dhibaya qaybo badan oo Afrika ah oo ay ku jiraan waxbarashada iyo shaqada ayaa ah eex ama takoorid. Xafiisyada dawladda iyo hay'adaha gaarka ah labadaba, qaraabo kiilku mar walba waa arrin joogto ah marka ay timaado siyaasadaha shaqaaleysiinta; Tani waxay sidoo kale sababtay arrimo badan oo ku saabsan hay'adaha iyo xitaa bulshooyinka. Qormadan waxaan kaga hadli doonaa xiriirka ka dhexeeya qaraabo kiilka, waxbarashada iyo shaqo abuurka dhalinyarada maadaama ay tani caqabad weyn ku tahay fursadaha loo siman yahay taasoo horseedeysa kala fogaansho dhaqaale.

Quality Education Deficiency La'aanta Waxbarashada Tayada

The education sector, for instance, is critical in enhancing people’s political stability, social mobility and economic growth. Sadly, that is not the case as nepotism in African countries tends to place emphasis on familial ties more than competence or qualifications. The practice of appointing allies or family members to educational leadership positions, regardless of their competencies, has a detrimental effect on the educational services received.

Qaybta waxbarashadu, tusaale ahaan, waxay muhiim u tahay kor u qaadida xasilloonida siyaasadeed ee dadka, dhaqdhaqaaqa bulshada iyo kobaca dhaqaalaha. Waxaase murugo leh, arrintu sidaas maaha iyadoo qaraabo kiil ka jira dalalka Afrika ay u janjeerto in ay xoogga saaraan xiriirka qoyska in ka badan kartida ama shahaadooyinka. Dhaqanka ah magacaabista asxaabta ama xubnaha qoyska jagooyinka hogaaminta waxbarashada, iyadoon loo eegin kartidooda, waxay saameyn xun ku leedahay adeegyada waxbarasho ee la helo.

The practice of favoritism has resulted in the placement of inadequate or non-ideologically suitable teachers and administrative

Ku dhaqanka eexdu waxay keentay in la meeleeyo macalimiin aan ku filnayn ama aan ku habboonayn fikradda iyo maamulka.

 in the public education domain. Such individuals tend to not have the proper expertise, experience, or desire to foster meaningful learning environments which ultimately puts a negative impact on the service quality I provide as an educator. To make matters even worse, these appointments are usually devoid of transparency which puts certain students in politically fair areas in an advantage compared to students from marginalised areas who are left with poorly advanced institutions because of a lack of resources.

dhinaca waxbarashada dadweynaha. Shakhsiyaadkan oo kale waxay u muuqdaan inaysan lahayn khibrad sax ah, waayo-aragnimo, ama rabitaan ah inay kobciyaan jawi waxbarasho oo macno leh taasoo ugu dambeyntii saameyn xun ku yeelata tayada adeegga aan bixiyo macalin ahaan. Waxa taas ka sii daran in ballamahani ay yihiin kuwo inta badan ka madhan hufnaan taaso ka dhigaysa arday gaar ah oo ku sugan goobaha siyaasadda ku dhisan faa’iido marka la barbar dhigo ardayda ka soo jeedda meelaha la haybsooco oo ay ku harsan yihiin machadyo heerkoodu liito sababtoo ah dhaqaale la’aan.

Favoritism impacts how finances and facilities are well allocated across different schools. Regions that are politically connected tend to do better in getting funding and infrastructure development, while regions that are politically disadvantaged are not fortunate enough. This brings immense inequality to the table, and also results in students from lower classes missing out on promising education and services having to grow up with this constant disadvantage on them.

Eexdu waxay saamaysaa sida dhaqaalaha iyo tas-hiilaadka si wanaagsan loogu qoondeeyey dugsiyada kala duwan. Gobollada siyaasadda ku xidhani waxay u muuqdaan kuwo si fiican uga soo kabanaya dhaqaale iyo horumarinta kaabayaasha dhaqaalaha, halka gobollada siyaasaddu liidato aanay nasiib u yeelan. Tani waxay keenaysaa sinnaan la'aan weyn miiska, waxayna sidoo kale keentaa in ardayda fasallada hoose ay waayaan waxbarasho iyo adeegyo rajo leh oo ay ku koraan iyaga oo wata khasaare joogta ah.

Moreover, favoritism in educational institutions is not limited to hiring teachers as it also includes offering scholarships, assisting students in enrolling in prestigious universities, and getting internships or positions that would advance their careers. This practice has always been unfair which results in students with merit experiencing hindrance in venturing into new opportunities.

Waxaa intaa dheer, eexashada xarumaha waxbarashadu kuma koobna shaqaaleysiinta macalimiinta sidoo kale waxaa ka mid ah bixinta deeqo waxbarasho, ka caawinta ardayda inay iska diiwaan geliyaan jaamacadaha caanka ah, iyo helitaanka tababaro ama jagooyin horumarin kara xirfadahooda. Dhaqankani wuxuu had iyo jeer ahaa cadaalad darro taasoo keenta in ardaydu ay la kulmaan caqabado ku wajahan fursadaha cusub.
