Abstract
Farmers and Herder's conflicts have been an
age long phenomenon across the world. The devastating impacts of the conflicts
has affected many aspects of human endeavors thereby making government seeking
solutions. Kaduna State in North Western Nigeria has had a share of the farmers
and Herder's conflicts which apart from affecting social and economic activitie,
it has also impacted on the education of both Christian and Muslims children.
This study assesses the impacts of farmers and Herder's conflicts with an
objective of assessing the impacts of the conflicts on the education of
Christians and Muslims children in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Respondents were
purposively selected from among Christians and Muslims from eight local
government areas of the state where the conflicts has occurred. Data was
collected through questionnaire and analyzed using the Social Science Package
Software Program. Findings revealed that there is a significant impact of the
farmers and Herder's conflicts on the education of children in terms of
disruption of academic activities, school drop out, kidnapping of children and
destruction of schools. The study recommended among others the need for
government to strengthen security around schools to prevent cases of kidnapping
while schools destroyed should be rebuilt.
