The state governor,
Abdullahi Ganduje, made this known during the launch of Basic Education Service
Delivery for All (BESDA) and the Distribution of Offer of Appointment to 7,500
volunteer teachers, held at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kofar Mata, today Tuesday
February 25th. He said the move is to
ensure all children in the state benefit from the free and compulsory primary
and secondary schools education policy provided by the state.
The governor
announced that any child found begging will be caught and the parent
prosecuted.
“This policy of free
and compulsory basic and secondary education goes along with the integration of
our Almajiri system into the mainstream policy implementation; which suggests
that English and Arithmetic must be included in the Almajiri School’s
curriculum.
While they will continue acquiring their study of the Holy
Qur’an, they would at the same time, learn English and Arithmetic, which will
give them an opportunity to continue with their studies to secondary schools
and beyond.
parents or guardians
would also be taken to court for disrespecting our laws.” he said
