In Italian colonial Eritrea, joining the Balilla (the Fascist youth organization) was practically required for a boy to advance in the colonial education system. The reason was that the Fascists wanted to have a firmer grip on their colonial subjects, boys who were Balilla members were more likely to be promoted to higher grades or accepted into secondary schools. Non-members could face discrimination, limited opportunities, or even exclusion from certain schools.
