Abstract
The objective of the study was to investigate the causes of terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It aimed to find out the effects of terrorism on the behavior of secondary school students on other students and teachers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; and also on the academic results. All the secondary school students, their parents and class teachers were the population for the study. A sample of 560 secondary school students, their parents and 112 class teachers were selected as sample for the study from seven districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa including, Peshawar, Kohat, Bannu, Nowshera, Malakand, Swat and Abottabad. Questionnaire with 5 points scale (Likert scale) was used as tool to get responses from the respondents (students, teachers and parents). Chi-Square test was administered on the data for results. The study concluded that fear was found among secondary school students due to news of blasting of schools, entrance of suicide bombers in the city, kidnapping of scholars or security officials and drone attacks. Terrorist activities made students intolerant, undisciplined, aggressive, and disheartened. Interference of foreign intelligence agencies in our county and weak national security network were the causes of terrorism. Recommendations have also been provided at the end of the study.
