Background:

The Almajiri system of education is a traditional Islamic system that emphasizes Quranic education but often neglects basic literacy and numeracy skills. This has led to a high level of illiteracy and poverty among Almajiri students.

The app will be designed with interactive games and quizzes to help students learn and retain information. The project will also create a series of instructional videos for Almajiri teachers to improve their teaching methods and promote more effective learning. In addition, educational materials such as textbooks, workbooks, and instructional posters will be developed and printed for use in Almajiri classrooms in Zauren Sheik Mu’azu for the enlightenment of the Malam involved in the teaching of the Almajiris.
