According to the research, northeastern part of the country which comprises Gombe, Bauchi, Borno, Yobe, Adamawa and Taraba states has the highest number of the population of out-of-school children.</p><p>Unguwan Makafi area of Bauchi local government, Dawaki ward to be specific, contributes in a large measure to the out-of-school population. With a population of over one thousand five hundred people, according to 2006 census, it is a remote area with virtually no infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, good road network and potable drinking water. In terms of human development, there is almost nothing to write home about. Most of the children, even adults in the area have no culture of personal hygiene, children roam the street in dirty clothes, without shoes. At a time when children in other areas prepare for school, children of Unguwan Makafi go out to guide beggars. Besides education being a key to success, it is also a process whereby an individual gets training and acquire experience. But in that community, the number of uneducated people exceeds those educated.</p><div class='code-block code-block-5' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'> <a href=https://www.adhang.com/guest-posting-services/ ><img class=lazy src=
