The proposed project aims to address the educational challenges faced by Almajiri students in Zauren Sheik Mu'azu, Zaria, Kaduna State, through the integration of technology and learning materials. The project seeks to enhance the quality of education provided to Almajiri students in the region, promote technology integration in education, and improve the quality of teaching and learning.
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. Our project seeks to address this issue by providing basic literacy and numeracy skills to Almajiri students in Zauren Sheik Mu'azu, Zaria, Kaduna State, through the use of technology and learning materials.
The project will involve the development of a mobile application that provides basic literacy and numeracy skills to 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.
The project will take six months to complete.
Key milestones include the following:
1. Development and testing of the mobile application and instructional videos.
2. The printing of educational materials and the distribution of these resources to Almajiri students and teachers.
The proposed budget for the project is $1,000. This includes the following:
1. The cost of developing the mobile application = $200
2. The cost of creating the instructional videos = $200
3. The cost of printing and distributing educational materials = $200
4. Other necessary expenses = $400
The project's expected outcomes include the following:
1. Enhanced basic education for Almajiri students in Zauren Sheik Mu’azu.
2. Improved teaching methods for Almajiri teachers, and the promotion of technology integration in education.
3. The project will also provide a well-rounded educational experience for Almajiri students, improving their chances of success in their academic pursuits.
4. Ultimately, the project aims to reduce illiteracy and poverty among Almajiri students in the region.
