| Summary: | Traditional Islamiyyahschools known as Madāris al-Islāmiyyahor just Madāris, Marākizor Ma'hāhidare institutions established by native clerics for the purpose of Arabic Language and Islamic training. Over the years, several such institutions have sprung up in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. However, observation shows that the curricula adopted by most of the Madārisusually differ and rarely provide qualities that could help attendees achieve self-dependency. Hence, this study comparedthe curricula of four selected Madāriswith a view to highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, achievements and trials to proffer recommendations that might help improve their productivity and contributions to growth and development of the twin-discipline in Abeokuta, Ogun State. As a descriptive research, interview and observation served as tools for data gathering. Findings showedthat the schools have produced several individual scholars who have also established Islamic institutions for the propagation of Islam. The schools have also created platforms for students to pursue higher degrees and secure good jobs in the future. However, the lack of scientific and technological informed curricula, poor attitude of the public to such schools, poor funding among others are impediments against maximising the potentials of the programmes of the schools. Thus, this paper recommendedcurricula review that engenders uniformity, promotes science and technology, government support, proper funding among others to improve Arabic and Islamic education in Abeokuta, Ogun State. |
