Btw,a few years back (about 8 yrs ago) this was one of the concerns in Cardiff
When the people started addressing it,there's been a big turn around.I won't say it's perfect laakiin it's nothing like it was at that time.Now Somali kids in Cardiff are one of the biggest acheivers within thier peer groupe

The success of these clubs was celebrated at the fourth annual Somali Education Awards ceremony in Cardiff, hosted by Fitzalan High School. Seventy students earned public recognition for achieving top marks in Sats, GCSE, A-levels or even degrees. First Minister Rhodri Morgan presented awards to some of the high achievers in front of more than 300 guests who included pupils’ families and friends as well as MPs, AMs

I'm not saying pple should stick their heads in sand and pretend like these problem doesnt exist.Just against the way they approached it, without any consideration or respect for the parents who are already struggling with their kids.

Private meetings and shirs would have been more effective and respectful, instead of generalizing and putting all parents in same box and embrassing them on TV.

The private meetings (shirs) require lots of resources ranging from man power to organiz the meetings and money to rent where the meeting is to be held. But streaming it over the air-waves is easier, inexpensive and could reach wider audience.

^^When it comes to children education and development the government will pay for it.At least they do it here in sweden and i think UK is the same.All that planning is easy if pple realy want help their children. Hooya kasta iyo aabo kasta wax ay caruurtoda horamarkooda jecel yehiin ma jirto.

Its true I support it. Somali parents need to do a better job of caring about their children's future, and religion and education.

they don't go to their children's graduation, they don't go to teacher/parent meetings, they don't tutor the kids, they tell the children to find work and send money back while going to school. they need to be like Asian and Jews parents that push their kids to perfection.

I don't see anything wrong with this program at all. If anything, since it's a TV that mainly broadcasts to Somali communities, it's actually very positive & productive discussion for Somali parents in my opinion.
