    Somalia has a literacy rate of 37.8, which includes 30% women and 45% men. Secondary education enrollment in Somalia is only 28%, while according to the country’s estimate, the enrollment rate in primary schools is 47%. Such a low enrollment rate within secondary education reflects the underdevelopment of education in Somali society. Only 17% of students in Somali society complete secondary education.

    Somalia has a very low rate of education. Due to a lack of resources and lack of access to educational institutions, the quality of education is decreasing. Educational backwardness is high in rural areas because of a lack of resources and lack of trained personnel in such areas, due to which the quality of education in such areas is very low. Somalia spends only 2% of its GDP on education.

    Gender Disparities in Education

    In Somalia, the gender gap in terms of education is very high. Because female literacy rate in Somalia is 30% while male literacy is 45%. In Somali society, most girls are married off at an early age, which prevents them from having access to education.

    Apart from this, the quality of education is low due to the lack of security in schools. The Somali government can improve the quality of education by providing security in schools. Apart from this, the importance of women’s education can be highlighted through digital networking and the Internet. Which is an important part of Somali society. As a result, the gender gap in education access and outcomes is only 15%.

    Enrollment and Completion Rates

    School enrollment rates with gender disparity are very low in Somalia. According to national estimates, only 47% of children are enrolled in primary schools, while enrollment in secondary schools is only 28%. Education in Somalia faces many problems and obstacles.

    Due to this, only 17% of children complete their education. In addition, there is a great lack of education in Somali society. The quality and importance of education can be highlighted by different planning and terminology. Only 28% of students in Somali society are enrolled in schools. The rest are unaware of the importance and accessibility of education due to regional issues and lack of resources, which is a disadvantage for Somali society.

    Education Funding and Resources

    Access to and rates of education in Somalia are very low. The government spends only 2% of its GDP on education, the lowest rate globally. Somali society faces many obstacles and problems in the education sector. Lack of funding, shortage of teachers, shortage of trained staff, and insecurity in schools are major problems in the education sector in Somali society.

    Little investment in the education sector exacerbates the educational challenges in the country. Many measures and plans are needed to overcome the problems of education in Somali society. Better teacher training and funding can address education problems so that Somali society can develop.

    The education crisis in Somalia is huge. Due to a lack of education resources and funding, there is a lot of deficiency in the education sector. In which the gender gap is 15%. Enrollment in primary schools is only 45% and in secondary schools only 17%. The government is spending only 2% of GDP on education, which is a very low rate. The country’s education system is struggling for basic resources and quality instruction.

    Lack of funding and trained staff is a major problem in the education sector in Somalia. This can be solved at the appropriate time so that future obstacles can be avoided, and the coming generation can be saved from this crisis. There is an urgent need to address these issues and improve access to education.
