dc.description.abstractThis study assessed the impact of Boko Haram crises on school attendance in Yobe State. All the schools in the state constituted the study population, while schools with high rate of Boko Haram insurgency constituted the study sample.The purposive sampling technique was used to select 10 schools with rate of Boko Haram insurgency. A researchers-designed questionnaire titled “Boko Haram Crises and School Attendance Questionnaire (BHCSAQ) was used to elicit information from the respondents. Four hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Both face and content validity was done by 3 experts in the field of measurement and evaluation Department of social sciences education, University of Ilorin, and the test re-test method was employed to ascertain reliability of the instrument within an interval of three weeks. A reliability coefficient of 0.67 was obtained. The data collected were analyzed using percentage, frequency and the t-test statistic appropriately. The analysis revealed that the insurgency of Boko Haram had negative impact on the students’ attendance in the schools in the state; there was no significant difference in school attendance among male and female students; there was no significant difference in school attendance in rural and urban schools in favor of urban area.Based on the findings, it was recommended that the government should sensitize the people to the importance of security matters in the schools, the school management should beef-up security as a way of reducing unexpected attack on the school in the future; the federal government should improve security in schools in the state; and rehabilitate the schools destroyed during the insurgency.
