According to Said Samatar, professor of African History at
Rutgers University, Newark, Somalis in Kenya, most of them
Muslims, were denied access to schools in the past because
education, up to the 1970s, was in the hands of Christian
missionaries. In the mid-seventies, however, under pressure from
its Somali population, the Kenyan government started opening up
schools for Somalis. But even today, Somalis have access to very
few schools (Samatar 26 July 1991).
Further information on this subject is currently unavailable
to the IRBDC.
