ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Northcentral University
To determine why girls in rural Somalia do not go to school, this study used an interview methodology grounded on phenomenology to gather qualitative data. The United Nations reports that elementary and secondary education levels are severely uneven in many countries, including Somalia. More than 40% of Africa's impoverished people will face health, education, and economic development disparities by 2050 unless women are actively involved in these efforts. Closing the achievement gap in higher education by 2030 will need immediate action to provide educational possibilities for the world's poorest nations. The two models that inspired this study are feminist theory and human capital theory. These two models support and inform this research design and build the framework for the study. Therefore, the feminism theory, one of the essential sociological subfields, will focus on women's experiences While leaders promote human capital theory and education, lawmakers passionately invest in the public to help achieve national goals The researcher used purposive sampling to eight participants. Methodological consistency, triangulation, detailed descriptions, searches for contradictory evidence, and data saturation were all tactics used to address the study credibility. The results showed that the program's services were significant and had a profound impact on the families of program participants who are still living in Somalia. This research was the first academic effort in the region to focus on the education of females. Still, new studies in Somalia in the future may add to the body of knowledge by assessing previous results in the context of national frameworks, which would lead to more targeted policy recommendations. Program objectives and policies pertaining to the study's findings and suggestions might be utilized in the future. implementation of human rights classes and parent's education resources in order to have more girls in elementary schools in the Rural Somalia Area.
