Lafoole University, Somalia's premier teacher training college, was part of the Somali National University (SNU).
Lafoole lies 22 km west of Mogadishu on the road to Afooye.
The term, "Lafoole College", was sometimes applied to nearby Lafoole Orphanage Boys College on the other side of the Mogadishu-Afoi corridor.
Lafoole University started as two-year technical training college for various skills including agricultural sciences, livestock and civil servant services.
[1] Although education or teacher training was the description of Lafoole University, it also produced thousands of students with non-teaching degrees.
