Conflict-induced predicaments, coupled with insecurity and displacements caused by climate change related disasters, have compelled the withdrawal of children and youth from educational pursuits. In alternative scenarios, children find themselves trekking considerable distances to reach school. In nomadic communities the people are constantly on the move with families, children, and livestock in search of pasture and water. For many, the prospect of education remains elusive, as evidenced by soaring out-of-school rates, pervasive dropouts, and a considerable loss of learning.
Somalia being one of the countries raved by long term war, primary school enrolment rate is just 30%, dropping to 18% in rural regions. Less than 50% of students are girls, and only 25% of women aged 15 and 24 are literate. Children with disabilities and girls are the most disadvantaged. The key question becomes, what kind of innovative solutions can be integrated into the education system to ensure inclusivity?
What role does digital transformation play in ensuring access to inclusive and quality education in such communities?
