Katsina state governor, Aminu Bello Masari on Tuesady rejected calls for the scrapping of Almajiri Islamic Education System practiced in the Northern part of Nigeria.
He insisted that reforming the system and repositioning it to address perceived educational imbalance and the out-of-school-children-syndrome in this part of the country will be more viable.
Masari who made the declaration while receiving audience, members of the board of directors of the Universal Basic education, UBEC, in the North West Region, led by Senator Abubakar Sadiq, observed that repositioning basic education in the North West is in tandem with the principles of his pet dream’ ‘’Restoration Agenda.’’
He said ’’addressing the Almajiri System of education requires drawing the line between Almajiri and beggars’’
”The Almajiri education system requires improved infrastructure and their conditions while in the care of their Malams. Also there must be improved sanitation and clean environment, ensuring skill acquisition and improved living conditions.’’
