Education is a cornerstone of national development, yet Nigeria faces significant challenges in this sector due to pervasive insecurity. The rise in attacks on educational institutions has led to widespread of school closures, particularly in the northern regions, disrupting the academic calendar and instilling fear among students and teachers. This paper examines the impact of insecurity on Nigeria's educational system and proposes strategies to bridge learning approaches, thereby enhancing quality of education amidst ongoing security challenges.
