However, underserved communities are still caught up in the web of traditional educational practices and yet to immensely benefits from globalization-induced practices. Based on this, the study evaluates the impact of globalization on traditional teaching and learning practices in culturally sensitive environments like Borno state. With globalization fueling pedagogical changes through technology, standardized curricula and global-inclined learning practices, Borno state faces both opportunities and challenges. The study adopted a descriptive survey design, involving the deployment of structured questionnaire to 300 educators across 15 public secondary schools in urban, semi-urban and rural areas of the state. The sampling was done to capture all social context in Borno. Findings reveal that adoption of global educational practice is very low in Borno State. This implies that the state is still rooted in traditional systems for teaching and learning. Furthermore, the barriers to effective integration of global teaching and learning methods include infrastructure deficit, inadequate educator training, and cultural resistance. The study argues for global practices to be fully embraced; it needs to be combined with traditionally and culturally inclined. The study made case for large-scale investments in infrastructure, capacity building programmes for educators and curriculum overhaul to ensure globalization fortifies local learning structures in Borno.

Drawing on stakeholder perspectives from government officials, community leaders, and parents, the research highlights key causes such as poverty, insecurity, cultural beliefs, gender disparity, and policy gaps. Using a qualitative methodology, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews in Borno, Niger, and Kano States and analysed through thematic content analysis. The study found that while stakeholders generally agree on the critical barriers to education, their perspectives vary in terms of priority and proposed solutions. The findings underscore the need for a collaborative, culturally responsive, and multi-sectoral approach to effectively address the out-of-school crisis in the region. Recommendations include increasing education funding, expanding school feeding programs, integrating Islamic and Western education, enhancing community sensitisation, and improving gender-sensitive support mechanisms.
