Amiir Nuur Secondary (English Amir Nur Secondary) is located in Garbahaarreey, the capital of Gedo Region. The school is named in honour of the 13th century Amiir of Harar who belongs to ancestors of many current Garbahaarreey residents.

The school is one of the highest rated secondary/high schools in Somalia, and was the only school who had the most students in the top 100[1] of the 2017-2018 Somali High School Certification Exams, in which more than 27,000 students took part.

History

Current Amiir Nuur Secondary students are from Amiir Nuur Primary and Middle School. The other Garbahaarreey secondary schools are further away from where the students attended classes from grade one to grade 8 level.

The residents and NGOs operating in the Gedo regional capital formulated the idea that Amiir Nuur graduates didn't have to travel to other side of town to attend high school classes once they are done their middle school classes. The school has about 200 students for school year 2007-2008.

Regional administrative city of Garbahaarreey has half a dozen primary and elementary schools and two high schools.

Establishment Of Amiir Nuur Secondary

Amiir Nuur Secondary was established to cover Garbahaarreey's need for class spaces for its estimated 4,300 pupils who attend various primary schools systems in the city.

Amiir Nuur Secondary was opened on May 5, 2008.[2]
