Education
The city of Garbahaarreey, the Gedo Region Capital, and the regions two ancient cities of Luuq and Bardera had education systems up to secondary level. There were some technical schools in Bardera and Garbaharreey, albeit without curriculum. All of Gedo region's high school graduates attended the Somali National University or affiliated institutions in Mogadishu.
Since the civil war in Somalia, Gedo became one of half dozen regions which have re-started higher education institutions in the country. Bardera Polytechnic, Gedo's first college and University of Gedo, are both located in Bardera.

And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.”
—Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
