Abstract

This paper explores the transformative potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) in addressing the educational
challenges in Somalia. With a focus on creating inclusive, interactive, and efficient learning environments, the study proposes
a phased IoT model that includes infrastructure setup, deployment of IoT devices, remote learning integration, data collection
and analysis, and training and capacity building. Each phase is meticulously designed to enhance educational outcomes by
leveraging IoT technologies such as solar-powered systems, high-speed internet, interactive whiteboards, connected tablets,
virtual classroom platforms, and performance monitoring software. Through survey responses and analysis, the paper identifies
the benefits and challenges of implementing IoT in Somali education, emphasizing the need for reliable infrastructure,
continuous training, and supportive policies. The findings underscore the significant potential of IoT to revolutionize education
in Somalia, making it more accessible, engaging, and adaptive to the needs of diverse learners.
Keywords - Internet of Things, Education technology, Smart classrooms, Remote learning, Educational innovation.
