The target population of this study consists of Almajiri schools, local government administrators and community leaders in six local government areas in the three selected states of North-West Geo-Political Zone of Nigeria. A sample size of three hundred and eighty four (384) was recommended for a population of 6000 and above. Therefore 384 were adopted as the sample size for this study. A questionnaire containing 37 items was developed to collect data for the study. The data collected were analyzed and presented in sections. The first section presents the frequency and percentage distribution of bio data respondents and nominal questions as responded by respondents. The second section presents the answers to the research questions using descriptive parameters of mean scores, standard deviation and standard error.
