primary education secondary education (9- grade school) high education

Despite of the fact that the community is pro-education, the conditions and quality of education arenot satisfying. Xiber has one high school, three 9-year schools, and 7 elementary schools.

Recently, education level leaves much to bedesired. This is due to certain reasons such as;teaching process, teachers are neither qualified normotivated, lack of interest and contribution ineducation from the community’s side, and paucity ofknowledge that doesn’t correspond to the demandsof labour market.

Due to the difficult economical conditions, highschool becomes less frequented, since too manyyouths emigrate.

Animal husbandry is more developed thanagriculture. We can say that agriculture

serves mainly to animal husbandry as theamount of crops planted is mostly utilizedfor livestock feed. Cattle and perissodactylsare mostly bred in lowland, while smalllivestock such as sheep and goats are bredin highland. Many inhabitants of Xiber haveincreased recently the number of livestock,as well as meat and milk production.Because of this, some stimulation ofinvestments is needed in animal productionprocessing and subvention of farmers toform their own speciality

- Normal

Infrastructure and services are the weakest point ofcommune. As follows, there will be given their

description, but we can say that services are totallymissing or they are services of poor quality that havebeen offered to community. This happens for certain

reasons; because the area is hinterland, there is notinvested monetary found in this direction, good projectsand suitable programs have missed, terrain is verytough and villages are located far away from each-other. These are some of the considerations
