1 INFLUENCE OF TERRORISM ON GIRL-CHILD EDUCATION IN NIGERIAN SCHOOLS FADEKEMI FUNKE OMIRIN Osun State University NIGERIA ABSTRACT This study examined the influence of terrorism on girl-child education in Nigerian schools. The study investigated causes and consequences of terrorism on girl-child education. A descriptive survey design was used for the study. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select four (4) higher institutions and four (4) secondary schools for the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 800 respondents (100 from each school) for the study. The study revealed that terrorism is caused by religious beliefs, politics, unemployment and poverty. It also discovered that terrorism has highly hindered girl-child education especially in the North East of the nation and that the menace can be curbed by changing peoples mentality on the negativity attached to western education, seeing politics as a game of chance, reducing unemployment and reducing poverty level of the masses. It is suggested that government should make youth education a priority and compulsory so as to break the yoke of poverty and equip them with entrepreneurial skills, and also that government should tighten the nation s security and provide adequate means of fighting anxiety. Keywords: Education, Girl-Child, Influence, Terrorism 1. Introduction Terrorism is the deliberate creation and exploitation of fear for bringing about political change. All terrorist acts involve the use of violence. These terrorist acts are committed to non- armed actors. Terrorists attempt not only to sow panic but also to undermine confidence in the government and political leadership of their target country. Terrorism is therefore designed to have psychological effects that reach far beyond its impact on the immediate victims or object of an attack. In the world of today, terrorism is now one of the major challenges facing Girl-Child Education (Okoli, 2014). Ensuring that children have safe, secure environments in which to grow, learn and develop healthy brains and bodies is not only good for the children themselves but also builds a strong foundation for a thriving, prosperous society. Science shows that exposure to circumstance that produce persistent fear and chronic anxiety can have lifelong consequences. Fear has the potential to affect how children learn solve problems and relate to others (Oladele, 2014) The nation Nigeria has witnessed brutal confrontation and massive assaults from terrorists group which is undoubtedly the most blood-thirsty and destructive, both in term of demonic brutality, mindless savagery and flagrant disobedience to the principles of peace and stability. Nigeria has witnessed insurgency from this terrorist group called Boko Harram from They unleash terror and fear in the minds of every Nigeria. There is wanton destruction of government properties, bombing of churches, mosques and other public places, assassination of prominent individuals, burning of schools occasioned by sporadic shooting of innocent citizens.

2 to be an act of terrorism can be traced to the October 1 st, 2010 bomb blast at the Eagle Square in Abuja. Today it has taken a new dimension. Nigeria as a nation is now at the mercy of terrorist religion known as Boko Harram. Just as it was planned in rapid succession between October 2010 till now, the nation has had countless explosions at different times to tell us that the issue of terrorism is very well alive with us (Amaka, 2014). In the world today, terrorism is now one of the major challenges facing Girl-Child Education. Boko Harram (which means western education is forbidden), to them according to the Sharia law women or girls are not entitled to education, which goes contrary to Universal Basic Education Policy. The 1984 Universal Declaration of Human Rights s that every person has a right to education. In 1990 also, the World Conference on Education For All (EFA) which was held in Jomtien, Thailand declared among others, that every person shall be able to benefit from educational opportunities designed to meet their basic learning need. However, much as the two declarations do not have exclusions of exemption, the girl child, especially in the third world countries is to be their least beneficiary. Despite the passage of the child right act into law in 2003 by the National Assembly in Nigeria, personal experience and available data reveal that the issue of girl child rights seek to facilitate the realization and protection of the rights of their tribe, gender and parents status. Of course, Nigeria as a nation recognizes education as a fundamental human right and is signatory to the major convention on the rights of the child and Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Distraction Against Women (CEDAW). But there continue to be a national gender disparity in basic education environment, retention and completion against girls (Abayomi, 2008). 2. Research Objectives The general purpose of the study was to find out the influence of terrorism on girl-child education in Nigeria. Specifically, the study: 1. Identified the causes of terrorism on girl-child education especially in North Eastern region of Nigeria. 2. Examined how terrorism has affected and hindered girl-child education and; 3. Suggested ways of improving the already damaged and dented image of the country s education system. 3. Statement of the Problem Education system in Nigeria, especially in the North eastern part has being under disruption since 2009 by the set of terrorists named Boko Harram. This group of terrorists has become a threat to many homes and especially on school girls and has eaten deep into our education. The hostility seems to have gone beyond religious and political coloration. Several attempts have been made by the government to curb this menace but it keeps persisting. There have been different reports on cases of girls of school age and girls in boarding schools being kidnapped and abducted, killing of teachers and burning of schools and properties (Amaka & Marama, 2014). The researcher deemed it fit to find out the influence of these terrorists on the girl-child education in the Northern Eastern region of Nigeria. 29th-31st August 2016, Accra, Ghana 415 ISBN:
3 4. Literature review 4.1 Effects of Terrorism on Girl Child Education in Nigeria Nigeria, the giant of Africa continent has been a relatively peaceful, multicultural, dynamic and progressive nation, blessed with human and natural resources, which paved ways for many opportunities for its citizens and foreigners to live in harmony from the colonial era, to the inception of Nigeria independence on October 1, 1960 to year 2000 where the country started experiencing the strange and global trend of terrorism, insurgency which led to the gruesome killings of innocent Nigerians, carried out by an insurgent group called Boko Harram ( Oloweselu, 2015). Abiye, (2011) noted that domestic terrorism arose in Nigeria because emergent militant groups took advantage of governments inefficient action and inactions in dealing with the fundamental elements of nationhood. Such as internal security, resource control, injustice, corruption, ethnicism, sycophancy, favouritism, overlordship and marginalization. These factors have made terrorism to be ethnicized in Nigeria. Currently the nation is witnessing high spate of insecurity especially in the northern Nigeria by a group of terrorist known as Boko Haram. The Jama atu Ahlus Summah Lid-da wai Jihad popularly known as Boko Haram is a strong pseudo Islamist terrorist group which has its base in Kanamma, North Eastern Nigeria. Musa, (2011) d that the Boko Harram has been in existence since 2001 but did not become popular until 2009 when they participated actively in the sectarian violence which occurred in the Northern Nigeria. The name Boko Harram is a Hausa ment, which upon translated into English mean Western education is sinful. This group is opposed to everything that is of Western origin, more especially Wstern education; its ideologies and system. Fatima and Olowoselu, (2015) noted further that since 2009, Boko Harram has disrupted educational system in the North Eastern Nigeria with huge negative effect on girl education. The group dislikes girls attending schools and also committed criminal offences ranging from kidnapping of school girls, killing of teachers, religious leaders both in Christianity and Islamic faith; they have unleashed fear in the minds of every Nigerians lining in the region. There is massive destruction of school activities in the North-Eastern Nigeria. In recent past, they used local girls to carry out mindless bombing of major central market, shopping mall, cinema halls and bus stations. They are also involved in murdering of traditional rulers and prominent citizens of Northeastern Nigeria. Abduction of school girls, the elderly and female teachers were also common in their recent styles of operations. Boko Harram has displaced over one million people in North-Easter Nigeria (NEMA, 2015). It also becomes a threat to the entire country. Their activities have crippled the socioeconomic activities between Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger Republic and Republic of Chad. Many Nigerian citizens residing in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe were currently internally displaced (NCRM, 2015). The Boko Harram insurgency in the north eastern region of Nigeria has slowed down the nations abilities of achieving the Millennium Development Goals project (MDG s), Education For All (EFA) and as well as Nigeria Vision 2020 programmes. The senseless insurgent attacks have negative impact on socio-cultural values of the people of north eastern region and well-being of other foreign nationals (Olowoselu, 2014). Presently, economic activities are low in the region, as foreign expatriate are relocating to other regions in Nigeria due to the increasing security crisis. With the mindless bombings perpetrated by the insurgent, most schools have been closed in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe s. ( Olowoselu, 2015). 29th-31st August 2016, Accra, Ghana 416 ISBN:

7 (4) higher institutions were selected and four (4) secondary schools were selected. The s involved were Gombe, Borno, Yobe and Adamawa s. One hundred (100) students were randomly selected from each school given a total number of 800 respondents. The instrument used was questionnaire tagged Questionnaire on Influence of Terrorism on Girl-Child Education in Nigeria (QITGE). The instrument was validated by two experts from the Faculty of Education of Osun State University, Ipetu-Ijesa Campus, Nigeria. The instrument was personally administered by the researcher with the help of research assistants. All the copies were retrieved and were considered valid for analysis. The 4 point modified Likert Scale of Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Disagree (D), and Strongly Disagree (SD) was used for the items. Reliability coefficient of 0.83 was documented using the test-retest procedure for testing reliability of psychological tests. Three research questions were raised and answered using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation for analysis. An item with a mean score of 2.50 and above was accepted, while item with a mean score of less than 2.50 was not accepted. 6.

9 Discussion of the study The saying that when you educate a girl-child you educate a nation is highly relevant to any society. Girl-child education is the provision of quality and affordable education to all girls of school age. The findings revealed that, terrorism as a threat to girl-child education is born out of religious belief, political governance that the position of a girl-child is in the kitchen, high level of unemployment, and poverty as well as corruption that are ravaging the society. The second findings revealed the extent to which terrorism has affected girl-child education in Nigeria. The frequent abduction of school girls in their hostels and kidnapping of school girls on their way to school have reduced their school attendance. Teachers and school heads in the affected region have become internally displaced persons and so have suspended educational activities on girls. Educational planners and inspectors of girl-child education programmes cannot conduct periodic checking on schools as most education officers in the region are out of their s. This also led to early marriage of under aged girls. The third findings revealed some ways the menace could be curbed. These include; government security being properly equipped to provide security for the vulnerable women and girls; a roundthe-clock security in school to protect the school girls; collaboration between Nigerian government and the international communities (such as Chad, Cameroon, Niger Republic) to fight the Boko Harram; sanctions against religious clerics that incite violence against women or any minority religious group and provision of jobs to the youths to reduce poverty and joblessness in the society. 7. Conclusions and Recommendations From the findings of this study, there is no doubt that terrorism has negatively influenced girl-child education in Nigeria. It has drastically reduced the school attendance, sent teachers and head of schools far away from their duty posts, led to abduction and kidnap of school aged girls, disrupts school activities and led to girl-child early marriage. It has created fears in the heart of the vulnerable women and girls and therefore flee their homes making them Internally Displaced Persons (IDP). These findings are in consonant with the findings of Fatima and that Boko Harram insurgency in the north eastern region of Nigeria has slowed down the nations ability to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Education For All (EFA), and as well as Nigeria s Vision 2020 programmes. NEMA, (2015) also revealed that Boko Harram has become a threat to the entire country as over one million people in the north eastern Nigeria are displaced. Olowoselu (2014) also d that the senseless insurgent attacks have negative impact on socio-cultural values of the people of north eastern region and well-being of other foreign nations. Based on the findings of this study, the following are recommended: 1. Government at all levels should make youth empowerment their priority and compulsory so as to break the yoke of poverty. This will deplete the army of youths available for recruitment into various criminal activities. 2. Government should embark on veritable poverty alleviation programmes by engaging them in entrepreneurial skills that will impact positively on the lives of the people. 3. Government security agents should be properly equipped to tighten the nation s security better and provide adequate means of fighting insecurity especially to vulnerable women and girls. 4. Intelligence gathering by the security agencies should be intensified, as this will nip many of the security problems confronting the nation in the bud. ISBN: th-31st August 2016, Accra, Ghana 422
10 5. Border patrol should be enhanced and there should be a proper and efficient regulation of the influx of immigrants or aliens, in order to forestall their recruitment into criminal gangs. 6. Peace and security studies should be incorporated into Nigerian school curriculum. 7. Awareness campaigns and sensitization of people on security matters should be intensified by the government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), media and publication houses and other concerned patriots. 8.
