Dahir is a former AMEP student from Loganlea who has demonstrated remarkable determination and resilience in overcoming significant barriers to achieve his Year 10 equivalency. 👏

Born in Somalia, Dahir lost his sight at the age of nine. Due to the limited educational opportunities available for students with vision impairments, he was unable to attend school for much of his childhood.

After arriving in Australia, Dahir enrolled in the AMEP in 2025, where he continued developing his English language skills while receiving tailored support to meet his learning needs. Working closely with his AMEP teacher and support worker, Dahir accessed assistive technology that enabled him to participate fully in his studies.

Through a personalised learning approach and ongoing support, Dahir built his English language, literacy and numeracy skills and successfully attained his Year 10 equivalency, meeting the National Standard for Year 10 in both English and Mathematics.

In August, Dahir completed his studies with the AMEP at TAFE Queensland before relocating to Melbourne to be closer to family. Equipped with greater confidence, independence and a clear career goal, he plans to continue his education by enrolling in a Certificate III in Community Services (CHC32015). Inspired by the support he has received throughout his own journey, Dahir hopes to become a support worker and assist others facing similar challenges.
