Dear Mr. Abdi!
I found a book chapter that can be used as a starting point of developing a new structure for STEM - curriculum to meet the requirements of the demand economy:
Gillian H. Roehrig, Emily A. Dare, Joshua A. Ellis, and Elizabeth Ring-Whalen 2021. Beyond the basics: a detailed conceptual framework of integrated STEM in Roehrig et al. Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Science Education Research, Springer Open (2021) 3:11, https://doi.org/10.1186/s43031-021-00041-y, Open access, Available at: https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s43031-021-00041-y.pdf

Abdirahman IBRAHIM Abdi Abdirahman, The responses to date are excellent. And, more importantly, can be applied in general ways to help you think about ways to improving education in your country. Any betterment of education is a worthy goal but, at the moment, it does not relate with what I know of life in Somalia.
My questions; (1)…is this a good way to use scarce to non-existent resources ?? and…(2)…and more importantly, how can a new form of education be implemented in culture that struggles to support the most basic of human needs of its people…let alone basic education ??
This year you had a report made to evaluate living conditions in Somalia. Its named the “Brookings Reports 2023 Somalian Challenges”. Link below.
It told your country that 6.7 million Somalis, almost half of Somalia’s 17.1 million population, face acute food insecurity, with 300,000 expected to experience famine this spring. More than half a million Somali children suffer severe malnutrition, 173,000 more than during the 2011 famine. The report continues; More than one million Somalis have been internally displaced due to the lack of food and water and seek to relocate to areas where they can access international humanitarian supplies.
