Problems and Prospects of Almajiri Education in northern Nigeria
Problems and Prospects of Almajiri Education in northern Nigeria2013 •
""The issue of Almajiri education has been a subject of discussion among scholars and a subject of great concern to the authorities. Almajiri education started from time immemorial in the Northern part of Nigeria. This paper tries to clarify how the whole process started; the various dimensions the system took overtime and how government came in to rescue the deteriorating state of the system by integrating the system with the modern system, thereby making the beneficiaries (Almajirai) learn both the Almajiri education and the modern education simultaneously. In the end, the paper offers suggestions as to how the system could be improved so as to meet the standard set by National Policy on Education and subsequently attain Education for All (EFA) ""

THE ALMAJIRI QUESTION IN NORTHERN NIGERIA: DECONSTRUCTING THE PROBLEM2021 •
The Almajiri problem is a serious national question especially that it is undermining national development and security. This paper deconstructs the nature and particular character of the system as well as dilates on the existing schools of thought on the subject. It notes that the system is a religious knowledge system that in the past played functional roles in Northern Nigeria in a whole lot of ramifications. However, the system in contemporary times arising from poor funding, conversion of Almajiri children to urchins on major cities, parental poverty, greedy teachers, exploitation of Almajiri by politicians and so no; have rendered the system bête noire to development and national security. The diverse schools of thought on how to resolve the quagmire indicate the complexity of the Almajiri problem and prompts the dire need for a holistic, all stakeholders engagement in resolving the problem beyond simplistic rhetoric.

The Almajiri Phenomenon in Northern Nigeria and the Rights of Children in Islam2021 •
Almajiri phenomenon which was once an approved and acceptable way to acquiring Islamic knowledge in the past has regrettably become a matter of sad concern for the North and the Nigerian nation. Children of school age roam about the streets in tattered clothes begging scavenging and doing all sorts of hard labour to earn a living. This paper examined the Almajiri Syndrome in Northern Nigeria and the rights of children in Islam. It is discovered that the present precarious condition which Almajiris are subjected to in many places in northern Nigeria, like poor accommodation, poor nutrition and health, education etc are not compatible with Islamic teachings with respects to rights of children. The paper therefore, suggested possible recommendations on how the problem of lumpen childhood upbringing can be rectified without compromising the genuine intent of seeking Islamic knowledge so as to produce Almajiris who will contribute to meaningful development of our nation. The paper inferr...

This paper discusses the nature and problems associated with street begging by children as it exists today in virtually all states of Northern Nigeria. It contends that this practice in the area is antithetical to human capital development because of its proclivity to deprivation and abuse of children; inducing poverty and further exacerbating underdevelopment of the North. It suggests a sincere commitment by the northern state governments to funding education; a synergy between Qur'anic schools and Universal Basic Education; endorsement and domestication of the 2003 Child's Rights Act by states of the north and the banning of itinerant scholars, migration of children and begging in the north as ways of eradicating begging among children in the region.

The term Almajiri in Nigeria is used to describe those children or youths who left their hometowns in search for Islamic education. Unlike pre-colonial Nigeria, the Almajiri system of education flourished and recorded exceptional accomplishment in literacy and social services, but today the system is faced with a myriad of challenges with glaring abnormalities. The aim of this study was, therefore, to conduct an empirical inquiry into the problems and prospects of the integration programme in North West Geo-Political Zone, Nigeria. A total of 240 Almajiris/pupils and 60 mallams/teachers responded to questionnaires designed for the study, while 33 community leaders and school heads were interviewed. The study reveals that authorities are performing below expectations in the area of education, which hinders the achievements of quality education for Nigerian Almajiris. Shortage of qualified teachers in some schools and inadequate numbers of Almajiri integrated schools in North West Nigeria were also recorded. The researchers further discovered that the government is not consistent in its policies and programmes there were a lot of irregularities and corrupt practices in institutionalized education, including the Almajiri Integrated Programme. It is therefore, recommended that the government should be consistent in its policy and programmes for the betterment of its citizens. Authorities’ approach to quality education should be centred on the eradication of corrupt practices. Almajiri Integrated Programme should be handled as introduced by president Goodluck’s Administration.

There are about 13.2 million out of school children in Nigeria. Over 10million of these children are Almajiri (boys left to fend for themselves whilst learning Islamic scripts far away from parental homes). These set of boys have no access to formal education and have since become street urchins in major cities in Nigeria. The Goodluck Johnathan administration in a bid to get these children into schools and curb the social malfeasance associated with this demographic group initiated the Almajiri schools programme. However, the programme has since been criticized and abandoned even after committing colossal State resources in building the schools. This paper examines the controversy around the Almajiri initiative using extant literature and offers thoughtful suggestions for rethinking the policy. It contends basically that the programme was not well thought-through and was poorly implemented due to deliberate sabotage by some stakeholders. The paper therefore concludes that the Goodluck Johnathan Almajiri schools initiative was a top to down intervention. It ended as a futile attempt by the Federal government to resolve a problem that had local tap roots.
