Abstract: The incessant strike actions in Nigeria’s public and private sectors have become an issue of concern to scholars and policy-makers because industrial peace or conflict impacts the social, political and economic activities of a nation. The present study therefore is focused on the influence of strike actions on attainment of SDGs among secondary school students in Awka Education Zone of Anambra State, Nigeria. Five research questions guided the study. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study comprised all SS 2 science students in all the 62 government-owned secondary schools in Awka Education Zone. A multi-staged sampling approach was used to select 340 SS 2 science students from the zone. A 38-item researcher-structured questionnaire arranged in five clusters was used for data collection. The data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions. The result shows among others that strike actions hinder progress of quality education in Awka Education Zone. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that institutions and the government should devise a better way of resolving issues apart from industrial strike.
