The Kaduna State Government has taken a significant step towards improving the state’s quality of education by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Alaramma’s 25 Tsangaya schools.
The MoU aims to integrate these schools with the Western curriculum, providing students with a holistic education that combines Islamic studies with formal teachings.
The State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Abubakar Sani Sambo, explained that the move is designed to address the issue of out-of-school children in the state.
Represented by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Dr. Musa Abdullahi Soba, said the idea came about as a result of a roundtable meeting with the Alaramma’s, where the state government sought to find a lasting solution to the problem.
According to Prof. Sambo, the integration of Western education into the Islamiyya and Tsangaya schools will enhance the quality of education in the state and provide students with the skills they need to succeed in life.
The Project Coordinator of the Reaching Out of School Children Project( ROOSC) in Kaduna State, Ezra Angai, provided more details about the project.
He explained that the initiative aims to provide a holistic education that combines Islamic studies with a Western curriculum, literacy, numeracy, and vocational skills.
