The largely privatized school system in Somalia is based on schools fees that are simply prohibitive for many parents. Less than 40 % of school-aged children currently attend school, less than half of those starting primary school complete it, and learning outcomes tend to be poor. In addition to poverty, key barriers to accessing education include lack of (public) facilities within reasonable commuting distance, insecurity, social norms (particularly as regards girl education), and perceived lack of return on investment in education. Education quality is undermined by the very large share of untrained teachers (between 50 and 80 % across the country) and insufficient learning materials. These are formidable challenges for the federal and state authorities to overcome, especially in light of their still emerging institutional capacities and very limited ability to collect domestic revenues. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 education targets, particularly those related to improving access to education and improving children's learning outcomes, remain extremely ambitious to achieve."}, {"bbox": [82, 1396, 1144, 1477], "category": "Text", "text": "The Overall Objective (Impact) of this action is to *improve the educational attainment and employability of relevant target groups in Somalia*.
