It is time to incorporate Western education into their learning process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the committee\u2019s responsibilities include overseeing the proper implementation of guidelines for this integration and ensuring that it is effectively adopted in the curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>He stated further that the committee will ensure accurate data collection on student enrollment in the state\u2019s annual school census.<\/p>\n<p>The commissioner urged parents and guardians to take advantage of the government\u2019s investment in education by enrolling their children in school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to bring every child back to the classroom \u2014 whether through Islamiyya or Western education \u2014 while ensuring that Western education is integrated into Islamiyya schools,\u201d he reiterated.<\/p>\n<p>In his remark, Chairman of the Bauchi State House of Assembly\u2019s Committee on Education, Mr. Nasir Ala, commended the initiative, describing it as a significant step forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am personally excited about this development. On November 18, 2024, I presented a motion in the House of Assembly advocating for the remodeling of Quranic and Tsangaya schools to include foundational literacy, numeracy, and vocational training. It received unanimous support from my colleagues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised the need to formally recognize the Tsangaya and Quranic school system within the Western education framework, saying it has created a vacuum that has long contributed to misconceptions about education in Northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn other parts of West and North Africa, Islamic education is integrated with Western learning. However, here in Nigeria, the failure to accommodate traditional Tsangaya and Quranic schools in our formal education system has led to the perception that their pupils are simply out-of-school children,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Ala expressed optimism that the initiative would help bridge the gap and ensure that students in these schools receive a well-rounded education.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
