Quranic Reciters reject ban on Almajiri education in Kano State
The Quranic Reciters Association of Nigeria has vehemently rejected the abolishment of the Almajiri education system in Kano State.
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje recently announced the abolishment of the Almajiri education system as part of his free and compulsory education policy. However, speaking at a press conference in Kano on Sunday, the National President of the association, Gwani Lawi-Danzarga said they are not in support of the decision to ban the Almajiri system in Kano.According to him, the Ganduje’s administration had arbitrarily abolished the education system without consulting them, describing the decision as a violation of the right of movement and settlement as provided by the Nigerian Constitution.
“Everybody is a witness to how western education has gotten total attention. Why not Quranic education? It should have the same preferences as that of western education. But, we just woke up to hear that the state government had banned Almajiri education.“We are Nigerians. The Nigerian Constitution has provided for free movement and that a citizen can live anywhere in this country, but now our pupils are being arrested by the government.
