Abstract
The study is on an assessment of Almajiri system of Islamic education by democratic governments in the North-West Geo-Political Zone of Nigeria from 2002-2012. It examines the emergence, development and roles of Qur‟anic schools in the promotion of knowledge in North-West. It also evaluates the implication of begging among the Almajiris as the challenge facing the reforms and development of the Almajiri schools among others. 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. The third section presents the testing and interpretation of six null hypotheses using parametric statistical techniques of analysis of variance statistics. All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance.The major findings are then revealed which include the government should not integrate Qur‟anic and Western education in schools, the reformation will not improve the living and learning standard of the Almajiris and their Mallams and the government should not entirely take ownership of the Qur‟anic Schools.

Finally, some of the recommendations proffered on how to make reformation of Almajiri education achive its desired objectives in the North-West Geo-Political Zone of Nigeria include; there should be emergence development measure and significance of Qur‟anic schools in the promotion of knowledge to improve the living condition of the Almajirisin North-West Zone; Government should also try as much as possible to reform and integrate Qur‟anic and Western education in curbing begging among the Almajiri in the states; and there should be effective support from the parents, stakeholders, Mallams and government officials to minimize the challenge facing the Quranic Schools.
