Abstract: | This study investigated the influence of economic recession on the
achievement of Almajiri education goals in Nigeria. The study
focused on the extent to which economic recession has affected the
funding, maintenance and provision of basic infrastructural
facilities in Almajiri integrated schools. A total of 80 respondents were
sampled for the study through the simple random sampling technique. The
survey research design was adopted for the study and questionnaire was used
as instrument for data collection. The data collected in the study was
analysed using simple percentages. From the findings of the study, it was
discovered that economic recession has stagnated the goal achievement of
Almajiri education in Nigeria by diverting government's attention from
Almajiri education and parents' inability to provide the educational needs of
their children. Furthermore, the findings of this study revealed that
economic recession has led to inadequate allocation of funds to
Almajiri education goal attainment, it has led to irregular payment of
teachers' salaries in Almajiri schools and inadequate maintenance of
Almajiri schools. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended
among others that the Nigerian government, despite the effects of economic
recession should allocate adequate funds for the running, maintenance and
development of Almajiri model schools in Nigeria and non-governmental
organizations such as UNDP and UNICEF should partner with the Nigerian
government in the funding and development of Almajiri education. |
