As allegations of madrasas being breeding ground for terrorism haunt the country, Delhi government is planning to set up a board to run these religious institutions and impart formal education. The move will involve teaching subjects like mathematics and science in madrasas, and is aimed at enabling the students of the madrasas to come into the mainstream education after initial Islamic studies. He said as per the proposed move, the government would also give aid to madrasas and have an audit of funds of these institutions conducted to clear apprehensions over their misuse. About 1,000 madrasas are believed to be functional in the capital and of them only Madrasa Auliya is run by Delhi Wakf Board.
Good idea. Don't forget to teach them all about cause and effect, too. They seem to be a little weak in that area. |
