The rationale was to establish the relationship between the Islamic practices and the Muslims’ neglect of secular education in Kiboga District, asses the role of Muslims themselves towards their low participation in secular education and examines the impact of the government policies towards Muslims’ low promotion and protection secular education in Kiboga District. Both qualitative and quantitative research paradigms were used gather, to present, analyze, interpret and discuss the relevant research findings. The population of the study included the Muslims and non Muslims, their homes, and schools in Kiboga District. The findings established that many factors influence Muslims attendance of secular education in the district. The findings showed that the Muslims have negative attitude towards secular education, do not clearly understand Islam and the government and Muslim leadership has not done enough to promote Muslims secular education.
