Fulltextthesis.Pdf An Analytical Understanding of How External Sources Inform and Impact Upon Somaliland’s National Education and Teacher Education Policy Making Processes A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Hassan Suleiman Ahmed School of Sport and Education Brunel University August 2009 1 Abstract This thesis investigates how external sources inform and impact Somaliland‟s national teacher education policy making processes. In this research, external factor is mainly constituted by INGOs that are helping Somaliland‟s education and teacher education re- construction which are considered to be part of wider global-national interactions. The conceptual frameworks of policy making processes, policy transfer, lesson drawing and policy learning are used to develop the theoretical perspectives that inform the research question. Constructivist‟s qualitative research approach which utilises critical discourse analysis as the principle methodology has been used to gain an understanding of the discursive construction of meaning about Somaliland‟s education reforms and analyse the discourses of teacher education and teacher professionalism that are evident in three contemporary education reform policy documents and interview data. This thesis considered policy making processes as a contested, dynamic and multidimensional phenomena and has acknowledged the centrality of power and resources in policy making processes. The analysis of the research data constructed Somaliland‟s education reforms as a discourse of human capital. This had implications for the strategies for managing change, quality and improvement perception, and reconceptualisations of teacher education and teacher professionalism. The thesis concludes with concerns about the contextual visibility to implement the new discourses of education and teacher education and calls for increased policy learning, capacity building, resource increase and modernisation of institutions as well as change of the culture of work. Keywords: policy making processes; policy transfer; lesson drawing; policy learning; globalisation of education policies; education reform, teacher education, teacher professionalism. 2 Table of Contents Abstract 2 Table of contents 3-6 Appendices 7 List of diagrams and tables 8 Abbreviations 9 Acknowledgements 10 1.0: CHAPTER: INTRODUCTION 11 1.2: The purpose of this study 12 1.2.1: Objectives of the thesis 12 1.3: Internationalisation of teacher education policies and practices 13 1.4: Educational policy and educational research 15 1.5: Background of the study 15 1.6: Research question 16 1.7: Definitions and understandings of the key words and concepts used 17 1.8: Methodology and methods 19 1.9: Organisations of the thesis 19 1.9.1: Summary 21 2.0: CHAPTER TWO: THE STUDY CONTEXT (SOMALILAND) 22 2.1: Introduction 22 2.1.2: Geographical location 22 2.1.3: Population 23 2.1.4: Culture and Religion 23 2.1.5: Economy 24 2.1.6: Politics 27 2.2: Historical events that shaped education in Somaliland 27 2.3.0: The window of opportunity 33 2.4.0: Somaliland education reforms 34 2.4.1: Beginning of the reform processes 35 2.5.0: The current education system 36 2.5.1: The management of education 37 2.6.0: The language of curriculum instruction 39 2.7.0: Teacher education 40 2.7.1: Teacher education reforms 43 2.8.0: The visible role of the INGOs 46 2.9.0: Teacher training institutions and their location 47 2.9:1: Amoud University 47 2.9.2: Burao University 49 2.9.3: Hargeisa University 49 2.9.4: Gollis University 50 2.9.5: Summary of the chapter 50 3.0: CHAPTER THREE: LITERATURE REVIEW 51 3.0: introduction 51 3.1: Section one: Process of education policy development 51 3 3.1.1: The nature of education policy making Process 54 3.1.2: Critical decision making 57 3.1.3: The concepts of habitus and social fields 60 3.1.4: Policies, policy networks/communities and power relationships 61 3.1.5: Power relationship in social practices 62 3.1.6: Summary 64 3.2: Section 2: Process of lesson drawing and policy transfer 65 3.2.1: The origin and processes of policy transfer 67 3.2.2: State policy transfer agencies 71 3.2.3: International agencies 73 3.2.4: None state- transfer agencies (NGOS and social movements 74 3.2.5: Globalising education policy 75 3.2.6: Higher education institutions as agents of globalisation 85 3.2.7: Diaspora communities as agents of globalisation 87 3.2.8: Summary 89 3.3: Section 3: Impacts of globalising educational policies 89 3.3.1: The re-professionalisation point 92 3.3.2: The de-professionalisation point 93 3.3.3: Re-conceptualising teacher education for a global future 96 3.3.4: Chapter summary 102 4.0: CHAPTER FOUR: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 105 4.0: Methodology: Researching national policymaking process and policy transfer, in the field of teacher education 105 4.1: Introduction 105 4.2: Research questions 107 4.3: The nature of the policy making process, and the role of research 107 4.4: Educational research and educational policy 112 4:4.1: The engineering model 115 4.4.2: The enlightenment model 118 4.5: My methodological stance: Constructionist position 119 4.5.1: Summary of the advantages of the constructionist research approach 126 4.5.2: But why is qualitative constructionist research ignored by most governments127 4.5.3: How can the question of quality criteria be addressed in qualitative constructionist research?

  • Ministry of Education & Higher Education Republic of Somaliland
    Ministry of Education & Higher Education Republic of Somaliland Global Partnership for Education Programme Document 2013-2016 Final FOREWORD We aim to strengthen our Education Sector and provide every child in Somaliland quality education, with well-prepared teachers using an effective curriculum. Our vision for the development of the education system is in Somaliland is grounded in the following premise: Every child in Somaliland living in every region has the right to a quality education. Providing quality education that caters to students’ needs should be a primary objective, from early childhood education through to further and higher education. The importance of quality teaching for quality education cannot be underestimated. To achieve this, teachers at all levels of education must be trained appropriately. Teachers should continue their professional development through a period of induction into the profession with the support of supervisors and mentors and should have access throughout their careers to high quality continuous professional development and learning. The teaching and learning environment should be designed in such a way that it supports teachers and all education officials in their missions to educate our children. Quality education nurtures human talent and creativity and will contribute to the personal and professional development of the individual person, as well as to the social, cultural, moral, economic, political and environmental development of society at large. We know that quality education promotes peace, solidarity, inclusion, a commitment to a sustainable environment, and international and intercultural understanding. The Ministry of Education & Higher Education appreciates the assistance of the Global Partnership for Education for improving the quality of education in Somaliland through support to teachers.

  • Post-Conflict Education Development in Somaliland
    Post-Conflict Education Development in Somaliland Post-Conflict Education Development in Somaliland Samuel Ayele Bekalo, Michael Brophy and Geoff Welford Abstract In the light of fresh international initiatives to achieve Universal Basic Education (UBE) and gender equality in education by 2015, this paper examines factors affecting its realisation in the context of Somaliland. In a country where over 80% of school age children are receiving little meaningful education, the paper reflects on more flexible education approaches to provide sustainable education for children and disadvantaged adults. The paper draws on fieldwork data from a DfID funded study [1] and the authors' own experiences. The discussion highlights the peculiar circumstances of Somaliland. It charts the provision of Education in the then Somalia from the colonial era through post-independence times to the civil conflict which led to the destruction of education in the country. It goes on to look at the progress being made at the present time following “stop-gap” measures for emergency education towards revitalising enhanced education. It completes the picture by describing challenges to the achievement of the UBE target. The authors review aspects of alternative and flexible educational approaches and urge the integration of these non-formal systems with the formal, governmentally controlled school systems being restored in Somaliland. They do so while sounding a note of caution that for all the energy and enthusiasm associated with these approaches, they have yet to be evaluated for their effectiveness in providing quality basic education. This paper looks at education in Somaliland. It presents a brief summary of the development of education from colonial times, through the recent civil conflict into the present time.

Somaliland in Figures data 2019, Hargeisa – Somaliland. All correspondence should be directed to: Somaliland Central Statistics Department Minister of Planning and National Development Hargeisa, Somaliland Email: [email protected] Website: Somalilandcsd.org Map of Somaliland I Preface Complete, accurate and reliable statistics are an absolute requirement for efficient public action. Statistics inform decision makers and the broader community with critical information on the needs of the population and specific challenges they face. Quality data can reveal where resources are most needed, and provide the means to track progress and assess the impact of different plans and policies. Somaliland, as it is the case in many other developing countries, still lacks the capacity to regularly produce the full range and quality of statistics which are typically requires to effectively design, implement and monitor the relevant policies and plans needed for the country’s development. The need to fill that capacity gap becomes more pressing as Somaliland progresses. Indeed, raising complexity of the productive base and integration of the country in the global economy are two processes which can offer tremendous dividends to the population of Somaliland, but require sufficient, accurate and timely information to fully take effect. To face this challenge, the Government of Somaliland has undertaken various efforts to improve the overall capacity and functionality of its National Statistics System (NSS) coordinated by the Central Statistics Department (CSD) of the Ministry of Planning and National Development (MoPND), and in particular to reinforce the role of public institutions in the production of quality data.
