 Education Minister Dr M Osman Farruk yesterday said those who want to suppress madrasa education and block its improvement are the enemies of Islam.
| "As such, they must be killed!" |
He said that the uni-track education system focused on improving madrasa education. "Those who are opposed to the uni-track education system are not aware of the system," he said.
| "Liars, thieves and apostates, the lot of 'em!" |
Addressing an opinion exchange meeting with principals and supers of Fazil and Kamil madrasas, the minister boldly supported the madrasa system, including the Kawmi madrasas. Madrasah Education Board organised the meeting with its chairman Prof Monirul Islam in the chair. About 500 principals and superintendents of madrasas from across the country joined the meeting at the Biam auditorium. Emphasising the religious studies, Dr Farruk stressed the need for developing the system and make it pragmatic to cope with the changing times. He said the uni-track education system was aimed at modernising the madrasa education. "But some people opposed it as they want to suppress madrasa education in the country," he said, adding "those who hinder improvement of the method are the enemies of Islam." |
