The somali gov't if it works out. Is asking for 5 billion from the IMF, World bank etc Thats to bring up the whole of somali society back to the 20th century forget the 21st century [/quote]
I said Properly.... you know very well that 80-90% of that money will go into the Swiss and cayman accounts of whomever is in the government.
If I could contribute too somalis it would be in fishery and how to maximize on our 3000+kms of coastline and out rish resources without depleting them. I would make my deputies a warsangeli and a dhabayaco from Bari repectively
Great book. A lot of the things I coudln't stand about university systems is in here.
"A second major illusion on which the school system rests is that most learning is the result of teaching. Teaching, it is true, may contribute to certain kinds of learning under certain circumstances. But most people acquire most of their knowledge outside school, and in school only insofar as school, in a few rich countries, has become their place of confinement during an increasing part of their lives.
Most learning happens casually, and even most intentional learning is not the result of programmed instruction. Normal children learn their first language casually, although faster if their parents pay attention to them. Most people who learn a second language well do so as a result of odd circumstances and not of sequential teaching. They go to live with their grandparents, they travel, or they fall in love with a foreigner. Fluency in reading is also more often than not a result of such extracurricular activities. Most people who read widely, and with pleasure, merely believe that they learned to do so in school; when challenged, they easily discard this illusion."
Don't have a time to jot down all I want to say but here few things to get the ball rolling.
1. Ban Poetry 2. Ban all arts 3. Ban all recreational activities (gym etc) 4. Ban History teaching. Replace it with collective amnesia teaching. 5. Mandate science and critical thinking ONLY curricula
To MoodyGurl:^quit it, this bordering on morbidity...
GedoBoy,
Because art doesn't and CAN'T solve current and future problems... somalia needs speedy recovery, banning all useless endeavors will expedite the process.
