This study was mainly based on the two throeies that is Functionalist theory and idealistic theory.However this study employed a cross-sectional research design. Cross-sectional research design is a type of observational study that analyzes data from a population, or a representative subset, at a specific point in time. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used in data collection. Furthermore the study was based on a target population of 180 respondents. However out of the target population of 180, a sample size of 124 was selected, by using Slovene’s formula.The study used questionnaire and interview in order to collect data from the field. From the study results in table 4.6 indicated that the Government capacity to provide children’s rights to education in Mogadishu-Somalia. was rated very good and this was indicated by the overall mean of 3.35, implying that there is a formalized system intended to help education in Mogadishu-Somalia on how children’s rights are drawn after education. More so the study results in table 4.7 with respect to the government capacity to protect children’s rights to education in Mogadishu-Somalia, this rated very good and this was indicated by the average mean of 3.32, hence implying that government capacity and always assessed well in order to improve to protect children’s rights to education in Mogadishu-Somalia and finally study results in table 4.8 with respect to assess the government capacity to participate in children’s rights in education Mogadishu-Somalia, this was rated good and this was indicated by the overall average mean of 3.08, hence implying that he government capacity to participate in children’s rights for the good performance of the education hence leading to the effectiveness of its activities.

Indeed, various levels and Without strong knowledge gathering and transmission on the part of local policy makers, emerging policies and their implementation was lacking an essential element of feedback.In line with the findings, discussions and the conclusions of the study, the following recommendations were drawn;It is, therefore, recommended that the basic education system in Somalia ought to focus more on increasing efficiency. To achieve this, policies like tracking children according to their learning achievements, holding teachers accountable for pupil learning achievements and increasing parents’ involvement in the life of the schools their children attend was likely bear great impact. That teacher effort seems to be the most consistent variable that predicts pupil test scores in this study is not quite surprising since it is likely to reflect the teacher’s actual effectiveness in the classroom and thus the quality of the pupils’ learning experience. Since, in both countries, teacher contracts in private schools are determined at the school level, teachers are likely to have an incentive to exert effort.
