Somaliland: Parents Condemn the False Allegations against Abaarso Tech
Parents of students learning at the prestigious Abaarso Tech have strongly condemned the recent posting of a fabricated report with the intent to harm the image of the Institution by some media outlets during a press conference held in the Imperial Hotel.
Madam Amina Osman Dua,le who heads the parent board said,” We the parents are deeply offended by a recent article in Halbeeg News and Waheen falsely claimed that one of teachers was the headmaster of Abaarso Tech, and that Halbeeg and Waheen had proof that this teacher told female students not to wear headscarves.
We take these accusations very seriously because as parents we send children to school, since this is where we hope their children will become learners with the tools they need to succeed in life, added Madam Amina .
The Head of the parental board went on to say” the forging of this image, makes it clear that someone out there intends to incite detestation against Abaarso Tech, that’s why we demand those media outlets to produce the source of their story and the evidence linking it to the Abaarso Tech management so that we take appropriate action against those involved.
It is difficult not to assume that the reason special interest stories like these get attention is because some people who write for and edit our major news media are being manipulated by the self-interests of members of a particular group.
Needless to say, the arrogance of the assumption that the average newspaper reader might be interested in such trivia about schools converting students into Christianity is totally absurd.
Mr. Hassan Mohamed Jama who is a member of the board said, the school’s Parent board is constantly involved in broad range of activities such as understanding the impact of various forms of the many factors which impinge on school outcomes not to mention the children themselves, of course, with their, unique abilities, temperaments and propensities which play a central role in forming and reforming their behavior, aspirations and achievements.
