Abstract
This study assessed the Qur'anic School curriculum integration
initiatives in Kaduna State of Nigeria. The study became necessary in view
of the fact that the recipients of the Qur'anic system of education are left
without provision of basic education and training that will make their lives
meaningful. Almajirai are left to the mercy of the society where they face a
lot of social and economic problems. The future of these children is being
ruined. In some cases, they are used for political crises detrimental to the
societal development. The children in Qur'anic system of education are
without good shelter, food, healthcare, clothing and other welfare packages
to enable them learn effectively. Based on the foregoing, this study was set
to achieve certain objectives among which are: to ascertain the ingratiation
and management of Qur'anic system of education in Kaduna state, to
determine the possibility of reforming the Qur'anic system of education
curriculum. Questionnaire was used to gather data related to the issues raised
from the response of the Qur'anic school tutors, officials of ministry of
education and LGEAs, Ulama/ preachers and politicians. Frequency tables
and simple percentages were used to give general description of the data. To
test the eight hypotheses postulated, analysis of variance was used. The
study revealed among, other things, that: Qur'anic system of education when reformed could enable the learners to acquire vocational and technical skills.
Similarly, the study revealed the need for introduction of subjects such as
Social Studies, English, Mathematics and Science in the Curriculum of the
Qur'anic System of Education. It was revealed that Qur'anic system of
education is a form of child abuse. It was also revealed that formation of
centre for Qur'anic education could be a good strategy in reforming the
system. Lastly, it was also revealed that the Qur'anic system of education
does not provide good learning facilities such as toilets, water and
electricity. The study concluded that Qur'anic system of education needs
good facilities to function effectively. Similarly, it was concluded that the
curriculum of the system could be attained through conferences seminars,
workshops, and the support of traditional rulers and other stake-holders.
Conclusion was made that formation of centre for Qur'anic system of
education could be a good strategy to reform the system. Recommendations
were proffered for a change of the Qur'anic Education system to make the
lives of the recipients better off economically, socially and intellectually.
