A solid curriculum is one of the most important components of education. Knowledge is advancing and society is changing as a result of science and technological growth. the purpose of this study was to review the curriculum change and innovation for higher education in Somalia. Curriculum change is both deliberate and unplanned changes in concepts, including invention, development, and adoption. Innovation is a planned part of the curriculum change. The study was guided by complexity theory since social systems sometimes require curriculum changes. most of Somalia’s higher education institutions lack formal curriculum plans due to the absence of a federal agency that could help regulate higher education or develop standards that could be shared. In Somalia, higher education is facing challenges, including a lack of effective curricula guidelines, quality standards, and other significant sources of support in the education sector. The study recommended among others the establishment of a National Commission for higher education with clear policy and independency to overview the curriculum in higher education institutions.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0008/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Facebook on the academic achievement of university students in Mogadishu. The study’s objectives were to investigate the effects of Facebook usage, self-regulation, and time spent on Facebook on university students’ academic performance. To investigate the relationship between variables, a correlation research design was used. Data were collected from 204 students in the faculty of education at the University of Somalia (UNISO) using a self-administered questionnaire. The participants were chosen through a stratified sampling technique. The quantitative data gathered was analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Pearson product-moment coefficient results indicated that a significant positive correlation existed between Facebook usage and academic achievement (r =.85 n = 204, p<.05), a positive statistically significant relationship between self-regulation and academic achievement (r = .559, n = 204, p < .05), and a significant positive relationship also existed between time spent on Facebook and academic achievement (r = .858, n = 204, p < .05). It was concluded that Facebook usage, self-regulation, and time spent on Facebook have a strong positive correlation with the students’ academic achievement. It was recommended the establishment of a national policy on Facebook to regulate students’ usage in educational institutions such as universities by cutting off internet services from students’ smartphones during study time to learn appropriately.
