Hausa written poetry, as well as oral songs, have been effective instruments for the community, national as well as regional development. They serve as a means of promoting self and humanity consciousness. This paper appreciates the song of “Makaranta Uwar Kwarai” (School as a Good Mother) by Audun Inka Bakura, which among other motifs, motivates towards educational pursuit. It explores the conceptual meaning of education and reviews the relationship between motivation and education. Moreover, the paper links the song of “Makaranta Uwar Kwarai” and education through making an epitomic analysis of some stanzas of the song. Finally, the paper proposes some ways by which the efficiency of Hausa literary works upon elevating educational participation will be promoted. An instance of this is purposely designing methodologies to train individuals’ mental power to be able to generate principles and their applications from Hausa literary works to relevant real life situations (educational participation specifically). Another is suitably incorporating such songs into the educational curricula to serve as an injection for educational participation.
