| Abstract: | Educational planning plays a vital role in improving the quality of secondary education, particularly in fragile and resource-constrained contexts such as Somaliland. This study examines the interrelationships among four key dimensions of educational planning. planning, implementation, evaluation, and environment and support--and their contribution to secondary school performance. Data were collected from 85 secondary school teachers and analyzed using a Bayesian statistical framework, incorporating descriptive analysis, Bayesian correlation analysis, Bayesian linear regression, and Bayesian one-sample tests. The findings indicate that perceptions across all four dimensions are generally positive and closely interconnected, reflecting the systemic nature of educational planning processes. Planning demonstrates strong associations with implementation, evaluation, and environment and support, highlighting its coordinating role within the educational system. Among the dimensions, implementation and evaluation emerge as the most influential predictors of educational performance, while environment and support appear to play a complementary role when considered alongside other factors. Overall, the results provide strong evidence that all dimensions contribute meaningfully to secondary school performance. The study contributes to the literature by applying Bayesian methods to educational planning research in Somaliland. Substantively, the findings underscore the importance of strengthening participatory, evidence-based planning, effective implementation, and systematic evaluation to enhance the quality and sustainability of secondary education in fragile contexts. |
