Abstract

This paper examined ‘Insecurity: The effect of Girl-Child Education in Taraba State, Nigeria. In specific terms, this paper seeks to identify the effect of insecurity on girl-child education in taraba state. Secondary data was adopted. Qualitative analysis shows that sources of insecurity are sexual harassment, cultism, culture, religion, rape, bullying, kidnapping, and insurgency by bokoharam. The effect insecurity has on girl-child education ranges from high rate of drop out from schools, loss of lives, dearth of teachers, overcrowding of urban schools where there is relative peace, insufficient class rooms because of mass exodus of students from rural to urban areas, denial of education opportunities etc. In view of the above, the paper recommends that the government needs to change its approach to tackling insecurity by embracing modern strategy of intelligence gathering through effective synergy amongst security agencies; adoption of hugely subsidized mass education for the girl-child; adequate funding for educational activities such as research and training for the teachers; high remuneration for the teachers in order to attract and retain top notch teachers in the state. It is gainful to mention that educating the girl-child has far reaching positive effect on both the family and the society at large, as the girl-child education results to sustainable development, progress, peace and harmony.
