ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the relationship between political instability and access
to primary education in Somalia and purposive sampling was used to select only
respondents convenient to the researcher to obtain required information. The
researcher interviewed 200 participants included politicians and educational officers
from primary schools across the country. The data was collected from primary and
secondary sources using questionnaires and interviews and after its collection, it was
organized and edited and sorted for the next stage. The data was presented in tabular
form with frequencies and percentages. The study findings revealed that the average
mean of 4.17 equivalents to the majority of the respondents indicated that political
instabilities in Somalia has significantly affected the access to primary education
service. It concluded that political instability negatively affects the performance of
primary education in Somalia. The study recommends that there is need to implement
strict legal framework to curb corruption and mismanagement of the wealth in Somalia
since this tends to fuel political instabilities in the communities hence affecting access
to primary education. The study suggested that there is need to adopt democratic
system of governance to overcome political disputes by applying free and fair elections
in Somalia. This can help to strengthen the government agencies hence eliminate
political instability existing in the country and later improve the accessibility to primary
education.
