The Role of Technological Innovations on the Quality of Education in Private Universities in Hargeisa Somaliland

Since literacy-based education was introduced to Somaliland, the educational system has experienced a number of modifications over time. For the most part of its existence, Somaliland followed a traditional education system that was inflexible, uncreative, and resource-poor. It didn’t draw attention to the unique characteristics of each kid, it didn’t question their inherent inventiveness, and it didn’t arouse passion or zeal. (Hidig & Saed, 2023). Somaliland’s educational system has seen a significant transformation in recent years, largely due to the impact of western curriculum. The emphasis has been on improving the quality, relevance, accessibility, and equity of education. One important resource for this change and revision of the educational system is the use of technology developments. The impact of technology advancements on Somaliland’s educational standards is investigated in this study. The general objective of the study was to determine the role of technological innovation on quality of education in private universities in Hargeisa, Somaliland. The data was analyzed through descriptive statistics using mean, standard deviation and percentages and inferential statistics using binary logistic regression analysis. The study used SPSS version 25 as an analytical tool. The study found that that the regression model is statistically significant, with Technological Innovation explaining a significant portion of the variance in Quality of Education. The F-statistic is high (69.084), and the p-value is extremely low (.000), confirming that the relationship between the predictor (Technological Innovation) and the (Quality of Education) is strong and significant. The paper recommends that the universities could consider increasing the availability of devices through lending programs or subsidies. Also Conducting awareness campaigns about existing technological resources could help. The university should assess and enhance the current resources, ensuring they meet student needs. Implement a feedback mechanism to continuously gather student input on technological resources and make necessary adjustments. The university should invest in improving internet infrastructure on campus.
