Under the new policy, Almajiri learning centres are no longer allowed to send pupils out to beg on the streets. Any registered school that violates this rule could face sanctions, including closure.
The policy also makes it compulsory for learning centres to register with relevant authorities, keep records and biometric data of learners, and introduce literacy, numeracy, digital education and vocational skills alongside Qur'anic studies.
Graduates of recognised Almajiri schools will now receive certificates, while registered centres will also be eligible for government support such as learning materials, healthcare, school feeding programmes and teacher training.
According to the Federal Government, the policy is designed to improve the welfare and future of Almajiri pupils, end street begging and better integrate them into Nigeria's education system without changing the religious identity of Qur'anic schools.
