Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper examined the recent trend of burgeoning explosion of Modern Islamic Schools in Northern Nigeria with special focus on Maiduguri Metropolitan Council of Borno State. In an attempt to discover the underlying factors that shaped Muslims' attitude toward modern education, the paper took a journey in time to the early Muslims' encounter with modern education during colonial times. The paper then zooms in on factors such as near collapse of government education; liberalization of educational sectors; Muslims' attempt to preserve their religious identity etc. As underlying factors behind the appearance of Modern Islamic Schools. Attempt is also made in the paper to explore the character and nature of the Modern Islamic Schools in Maiduguri society, particularly their strengths and impact, and also their contributions to the Muslim society as a whole. Qualitative methodology has been used in the research with writer's observations and semi-structured interview as instrument of data collection.
