Abstract: This paper attempts to
critically examine the approaches of Traditional and Modern Education, given
that modernity in education is a Western invention, Western educational
models have played a significant role in helping many nations successfully
transition to modernity and achieve educational success. However, such forms
may coexist alongside traditional cultures with differing degrees of unease,
like in African nations, providing access to different worldviews. The main
objective of the study is to study the development of values in the education
curriculum concerning tradition and modernization. This review study
comprises the results of the previously published article on traditional
education and Modern teaching. The dilemma of Somaliland’s education
institutions not catering to local development priorities is a major
challenge facing the country. It is a challenge that must be addressed if
Somaliland is to achieve its educational development goals. The strengths and
weaknesses of Somaliland education are discussed, and readers’ attention is
directed to possible areas for further study. |
Keywords: Contemporary education, traditional teaching, modernization.
