Introduction: Education Has No Expiry Date
At Skafa Islamic School, we believe that learning should never stop—regardless of age or background. That belief fuels our Adult Class Program, designed to give a second chance to individuals who were not privileged to receive formal education earlier in life. Right here in Wuro-Yolde, Gurin, Adamawa State this initiative is not just teaching reading and writing; it is transforming lives and restoring dignity.
The Need: Bridging a Lifelong Gap
An Unspoken Reality
Many adults in our community have long carried the quiet burden of illiteracy. Whether due to poverty, cultural barriers, or past displacement, thousands never had the opportunity to attend school. The result? Limited career opportunities, low confidence, and dependency on others.
A Vision Born of Compassion
Thanks to the foresight of our founder, Hajiya Aisha Ahmed Jika (Gimbiyan Gurin), the Adult Class Program at Skafa was created to break the cycle of educational exclusion and offer meaningful skills for both spiritual and worldly growth.
What We Offer: Learning That Empowers
1. Basic Literacy & Numeracy
We teach adults how to read, write, and perform basic arithmetic—giving them practical skills to navigate everyday life with confidence.
2. Qur’anic Education & Islamic Knowledge
Many learners come with a strong desire to connect more deeply with their faith. We guide them through:
- Proper Qur’an recitation (Tajweed)
- Understanding key Surahs and Hadith
- Practical fiqh for daily living
3. Life Skills and Community Awareness
From learning how to sign their name, to understanding civic duties and digital basics, the program also teaches real-life applications of knowledge.
Real Stories, Real Impact
“I Can Finally Read the Qur’an Myself”
For many, the ability to read the Qur’an unaided is a deeply emotional milestone. It fosters independence in worship and boosts self-esteem.
“I Help My Children With Homework Now”
Adult learners often become better parents and role models. They start valuing education more deeply and pass that love of learning to the next generation.
“I Feel Respected in My Community”
Knowledge removes shame. With it comes dignity, confidence, and courage to contribute to community life.
Our Approach: Compassionate and Flexible
Learn at Your Own Pace
Our classes are flexible to accommodate working adults and parents. Sessions are held in the evenings or weekends, ensuring access without disrupting daily responsibilities.
No Shame, No Pressure
We foster a supportive environment free from judgment. Everyone is respected, and progress is celebrated at every stage.
Building a Literate Ummah
This is more than a program. It is a revival of lost opportunities and a community transformation project. With each adult who learns to read or perform ablution properly, we build a stronger, more faithful, and more informed society.
Conclusion: It’s Never Too Late to Learn
At Skafa Islamic School, we do not just teach children—we uplift generations. Our Adult Class Program in Wuro-Yolde, Gurin is proof that education is a right, not a privilege, and when offered with love and dignity, it can change lives forever.
