Terrorism has cast a spell of fear on the nation of Pakistan. It has influenced every walk of life, but specifically it has had an
horrific impact on educational institutions. The current research study was aimed at examining the concerns of students about
terrorism. It was hypothesized that there is likely to be difference in students’ concern about the influence of terrorism in
different educational streams: Madrassah, Private and Public or between the genders. The study used descriptive research
with a questionnaire survey-type design. A convenient sampling technique was employed to collect data from 180 students
belonging to Madrassahs, and Private and Public schools in the urban and rural areas of Lahore District. A 24-item Students’
Concerns about Terrorism (SCT) scale was developed to provide measures of terrorism, peace and social context (Attitudes
to modern female emancipation). Alpha reliabilities of subscales of SCT for the indigenous sample were satisfactory at 0.82,
0.75 and 0.84. Uni-dimensional factors provide evidence of validity. Results showed that Anti-terrorism scores were
significantly lower in Public and in urban institutions. Peace scores were significantly higher for females in Madrassahs and
males in Public institutions. A significant gender/institution interaction showed the context of modern female emancipation
was strongly supported by females in Private institutions but not by males in Madrassahs
