Obviously, the main cause was the eruption of civil war in 1988 and the following collapse of the Somalia central state in 1991 as severely disrupted all public social services in Somalia. As result of that, the education system in Somalia at that time was entirely destroyed. It caused prolonged dilemma and periods of instability and intermittent conflict constrained the ability of local populations and the international community to rehabilitate the country’s educational facilities and resources. However, destruction of the sector went far beyond the deterioration of physical infrastructure.
