Kano state Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has criticised the Almajiri school policy by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ganduje while engaging with journalists on the progress of his administration, said the state government plans to integrate the almajiris into normal schools system to avoid stigmatisation of Almajiri school graduates later in future; THE NATION reports.
He said, ''The last federal government introduced the Almajiri schools but the school is not well articulated, it is a wrong policy. For example in my village, we have this school with only 50 students and in Kano we have over 3 million Almajiris and the number of Almajiri is almost a problem to the number of school children so the issue is not creating a school.
"If you are creating an Almajiri school that is abnormal, who will like to be tag Almajiri? Is it that after completing your studies your certificate will be tagged Almajiri? And later in life you will be called a graduate of Almajiri school? Which means you were an Almajiri before, so it has some social problems.”
