INTRODUCTION
Education occupies a centre stage in social and economic development of human life as it enables him/her to live and find meaning in his/her life.
Education especially at primary school level helps beneficiaries irrespective of culture, religion or economic status to enjoy a happy childhood so that they can become happier and productive adult.
According to Microsoft Encarta (2009:4) article 26 of Universal Declaration of Human rights “everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free at least in the elementary and fundamental stages”.
The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999:18) stated that “Government shall direct its policy towards ensuring that there are equal and adequate education opportunities”.
In this regard the nomadic pastoralist child, whose parents are contributing daily to the growth and development of the country’s economy, should not be left behind un-educated.
The nomadic child should have access to formal education and efforts should be made to ensure that functional and productive education is provided for the nomadic pastoralist child.
Educational provision in nomadic communities dates back to the pre-jihad times in the Hausa states through mobile Islamic scholars and this situation still holds today (Ardo, 1991).
