Herein, embodies the result of a study under a topic titled, Review on the Historical Development and Challenges Faced by Almajiri Educational System in Northern Nigeria. This study relied upon primary data collected from the literature, and aimed at investigating and feeding the general public with factual information concerning the original and eventual nature of Almajiri educational system in addition to the causes of transformation of the system into current state. The result of this study highlighted in the context of the literature, certain factors that might have influenced the Almajiri Education in Nigeria as suggested by different researchers. Such factors were classified according to this research, into eight categories which include: the economic-, educational-, environmental-, geographical-, legal-, political-, religious-, as well as socio-cultural- factor. However, the fact that such factors may vary depending upon the living conditions for the individual citizens of the country, this study recommended the need for carrying out another fresh research in the form of field survey for either validation and/or identification of the various contemporary factors resulting in the high resistance of such educational system under discussion.
