Speaker Zamfara State House of Assembly has assured that the house would work out a legal framework that would ease the integration of Almajiri children in to the formal educational system.
He said through the idea of the legal framework for the Almajiri integration has been ongoing, it would be extended to all the twenty state assembly constituencies for inputs.
The Speaker stated this when he received the leadership of KDC foundation, a non-governmental organization based in Kano who paid him a courtesy visit on Thursday.
KDC Foundation is a non-governmental organization working in reforming Almajiranchi and Tsangaya system of education in the North.
Speaker Magarya who commended the founders of the initiative said all hands must be on deck to support the idea in the overall interest of the people of the Northern Nigeria.
He further said the present assembly under his leadership has just passed into law a bill prohibiting all forms of distractions of young persons during school hours, noting that the reasoning of the state lawmakers has keyed into the activities of the visiting NGO.
Earlier in his remarks the Project Director KDC foundation Khalifa Usman Mustapha said the foundation started with only one local government area in Kano somewhere in the year 2014 as a complementary role to the then president Good luck Ebele Jonathan’s Almajiri integrated system of education noting the progress recorded led to the extension of the idea to about six states.
He said their cardinal mandate is to champion the review of the Nigerian education curriculum, at least in all the six states selected so that Tsangaya system of Education can be strictly integrated.
Highlights of the visit were the presentation of a gift to their chief host as a mark of respect, as well as a group photographs.
