Kadpoly rector kicks against scrapping of almajiri

The Rector of Kaduna Polytechnic, Prof. Idris Bugaje has condemned those calling for the scrapping of Almajiri system of education in the northern part of the country.

While calling for an improved system, he emphasised that Almajiri education cannot be scrapped due to its complexity.

“ It is impossible for the Almajiri system of education to be scrapped. What we can do is to upgrade it,” he said.
