Abstract: The study was on effect of insurgent activities on post primary schools in Borno state. Two objectives with two corresponding research questions and hypotheses guided the conduct of the study. Relevant literatures relating to the research questions with empirical related studies on insurgent activities were reviewed. The study adopted the Powell and Abraham theory as its theoretical framework. The survey research was employed as the design for the study. The population consist of 25,915 subjects comprising of students, teachers and school administrators from two (North & South) education zones. Four (400) hundred respondents were sampled randomly out of those population through Yamani formula. A semi structured instrument was developed by the researcher and validated by experts in educational administration and planning. The instrument was pilot tested to establish its reliability which was found to be 0.74. The instrument was then administered by the researcher with the help of two trained research assistants. The instrument was collected and analysed using the descriptive and inferential statistics. Specifically, mean () and the standard deviation (SD) was employed in testing the three research questions while the z-test was employed in testing all the three null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that the causes of insurgency on post primary schools are known in Borno state, insurgency have devastating effects on students, teachers and educational administrators. The study therefore recommends among others that government should ensure equity and transparency in the distribution of resources and maintain fairness and justice in resolving conflicts and workshops on security and conflict resolution be organised for teachers, school administrators, and host communities and government should use poverty alleviation programmes to reduce unemployment crisis.
