Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, has ordered the integration of vocational skills in 3,226 Almajiri schools in the state.
The governor gave the order yesterday at the Government House in Maiduguri when he received an update on the validation and registration of Sangaya Schools in the state presented by the Governing Council of Arabic and Sangaya Education Board. He also observed that the integration of vocational education would help to reduce the number of the out-of-school children and Almajiris roaming the streets in all parts of the state.
Are Almajiri schools normal schools where they teach normal subjects like mathematics, English, literature, Intro-Tech etc? Because I’m not understanding how one state will have over 3200 Almajiri schools unless they are normal schools.
