Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Low enrolment in secular education in northern Nigeria is often explained in terms of cultural resistance, especially in the context of Boko Haram. This piece sheds light on the financial hurdles making it difficult for poor parents to enrol their children in boko schools, and motivating them to opt for Islamic education instead. |
