19 Million Nigerian Children Out of School Due to Kidnapping Fears

21 Temmuz 2026France 24

In Nigeria, 19 million children are currently out of school due to the pervasive fear of kidnappings. The recent rescue of 46 abducted children and teachers highlights the ongoing crisis, which has roots in the infamous Chibok schoolgirls' abduction in 2014.
With 27% of children not attending school, Nigeria faces one of the highest rates of educational disengagement globally, largely driven by the threat of violence.
Since the Chibok incident, mass kidnappings have become a tragic reality in Nigeria, affecting the educational landscape and the safety of children. The government's response and the international community's support are critical in mitigating this crisis and ensuring that children can safely pursue their education.
The alarming statistics surrounding education in Nigeria reflect a deep-seated crisis that extends beyond mere numbers. The fear instilled by kidnappers not only disrupts the educational system but also has long-term psychological effects on children and their families.
