Over the past decade, thousands of Somali students and professionals have received advanced education and technical training in Türkiye. From engineering and medicine to public administration and infrastructure development, this growing group is returning home with new skills, global exposure, and practical experience.
This video explores what Somalis trained in Türkiye say about Somalia’s future. Through facts, trends, and real-world outcomes, we examine how international education partnerships are influencing Somalia’s recovery, workforce development, and long-term stability. The focus is not on politics, but on human capital, knowledge transfer, and capacity building.
Türkiye has become one of Somalia’s key education and training partners, offering scholarships, vocational programs, and institutional cooperation. As these trained individuals re-enter Somalia’s economy, they bring modern standards, professional networks, and a renewed sense of possibility.
What impact can this have on healthcare, infrastructure, governance, and entrepreneurship?
Can education abroad accelerate national rebuilding at home?
This documentary looks at the evidence, the challenges, and the potential paths forward—through the voices and experiences of Somalis shaped by Türkiye’s education system.
