Bauchi State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Jamila Mohammed Dahiru has led a high-ranking delegation on an official study visit to the Kingdom of Morocco.
The aim of the visit was to examine Morocco’s educational practices and see how they can be replicated in Bauchi State.
The delegation included Alhaji Admu Duguri, Chairman of BASUBEB, and Hon. Dr Nasir Ala, Chairman of the Bauchi State House of Assembly Committee on Education, alongside other key stakeholders.
The visit focused on studying how Morocco successfully integrates formal and non-formal education at the foundational level.
The Bauchi delegation engaged extensively with Moroccan Ministry officials and visited various educational institutions, including secondary schools and non-formal “second chance” education centres, which aim to provide alternatives for students who may have left the traditional education system.
The Commissioner said that, “Today’s discussions have been incredibly productive. We are particularly impressed with Morocco’s emphasis on motivation, psychological development, and goal realisation as key components of their educational system.”
Jamila Dahiru highlighted two institutions, Aththanawi Maula Abudussalam Bn Mashish Ta’alihliyyat and Markez Lil Ta’lil Alqudarat, as models for inspiration.
The Bauchi State Government aims to incorporate lessons learned from Morocco to improve both formal and non-formal education systems back home, with hopes of fostering a lasting partnership through the Nigerian Embassy.
The delegation’s visit was part of Bauchi State’s broader education reform strategy to uplift learning outcomes and create more opportunities for students across the state, as contained in a statement by Jalaludeen Usman, Information and Public Relations Officer, Bauchi State Ministry of Education.
