The @NGRSenate wants integration of "Almajiris" into educational system.

1/ This is an interesting topic, although sorrounded by many hurdles & controversial standpoints that need to be resolved by all stakeholders.

Sirs @DrAliyuTilde @DrModibbo1, you both need to see this.

2/ However beautiful this appears from the outside, this is probably the toughest task of the century, which also if accomplished will solve almost every problem we have in Northern Nigeria, to an extent. Some of the salient questions we all need to deliberate on & solve are:

3/ Will the current school system be able to contain the almost 10 million Almajiris we have? Considering the fact that almost all of them can neither read nor write, how do they get integrated into the system? Are they going to pass through a phase before getting integrated?

4/ Some of these people don't believe in any other system other than thr Almajiri system, is the govt ready to damn all consequences & enforce serious disciplinary actions against an individual or group not ready to shift wings & accept the changes?

5/ Are further enrolment into the unfortunate Almajiri system henceforth terminated with the commencement of the integration?

This move by the Nigerian Senate is one every well meaning Nigerian should support & put in his/her best to ensure that it sees the light.
