Globalization and its Implications for Somali National Education Policy

Mohamed Isse Sidow

Abstract: The paper examined globalization and its implications for national education policy in Somalia. Globalization has had a significant impact on the national education policy in Somalia. This paper explores the challenges of globalization to educational policy in Somalia, including international governments and non-governmental organizations. By contributing financial support, technical aid, and experience, foreign governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have significantly influenced the development of Somalia's national education policy. These outside parties have helped to create and put into practice educational changes. Also, this paper examines the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) on national education policy. ICT has become an effective tool for influencing educational policies all around the world, especially in Somalia. Teaching and learning approaches, curriculum design, and assessment procedures have all changed as a result of ICT integration in education and access to education. When analyzing how globalization will affect Somalia's national education strategy, access to education is another essential priority. This abstract provides an overview of the national education policies and structure of the education system in Somalia. This paper recommends cooperation with international governmental and non-governmental organizations, such as the World Bank, UNESCO, and the United Nations, in order to gain access to financing and assistance for the creation of the national education policy.
