Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: The security of life and properties is a cardinal obligation without alternative of any authority. The approaches required by the authority are simply inculcated and better practiced when individuals are exposed to security rudiments. Formal education has long played a reliable role in this regard. This paper presents the scientific perspective of advancing formal education on the 'Alimajiris' to earn sustainable security. Two research questions were answered. The study purposively selected 50 pupils who had once participated in 'Alimajiri' life as sample from a primary school. A 15-item questionnaire was used to gather data. The average weighted scores on each item were computed to arrive at decisions. The results showed that: the basis for 'Alimajiri' life style was due to traumatic conditions in the families; and sustainable security is boosted through formal education acquisition. It was recommended that government should carry out deserving national overhauling of the existing school structures and facilities for the intending influx of Nigerian children, and enforced restriction of illegal immigrant into Nigeria should be braced up among others. |
