The Somali borderlands in Kenya are characterized by a unique educational landscape, where traditional teaching methods often clash with modern learning needs. This context necessitates an examination of how innovative educational technology (IET) adoption can impact student performance. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from school performance metrics with qualitative insights through interviews with educators and students. A detailed analysis of IET usage patterns across selected schools is conducted to gauge effectiveness. Findings indicate an increasing trend in IET adoption rates among Somali borderlands schools, particularly evident in secondary education where technology integration shows a significant positive correlation with improved student performance metrics. The results suggest that while there are challenges related to infrastructure and teacher training, the potential benefits of integrating IET into educational practices are substantial for improving learning outcomes. Recommendations include enhancing digital literacy among teachers, providing ongoing professional development on technology integration, and advocating for more robust government support for IET implementation in borderlands schools.
