Present scenario of madrassas system in Pakistan


The article I’m talking about is on the present scenario of madrassas system in Pakistan and in this I have also written about how many problems are faced by the madrassas to boast their level up in the present situation of Pakistan. Because everyone knows about the madrassas system that it is provided the education of terrorism not the education of Islam. The main example of this is The Red Mosque, as appears from the Lal Masjid episode, religious institutes have become a hub of extremism and terrorism, that the government has closed its eyes to bring any reforms in the working and setup of Deeni Madaris, and that neither have any changes been made in the curricula taught in these institutes nor the attitudes of the students changed therein by imparting general and skill-oriented education to enable them to play a positive role in the development of the country. But in the eyes of others they are spreading terrorism. The fact is that ever since the creation of Pakistan the two parallel systems of education have been in place in the country: i.e., general education through educational institutions, colleges and universities, and religious education, through Deeni Madaris in the private sector. Both systems of education are rendering valuable social service for the uplift of the country. The period from the Seventies saw a rapid expansion in Madaris network and in their division on sectarian lines. So due to the thinking of people the Madrassas are degrading day by day because people are not going there to get the education of Islam, the major reasons of all these problems is that the madrassas are not affiliated with any organization or registered. The first most things are done by the madrassas is that to register from the government organization like HEC or others to reduce the misconception of terrorism in madrassas. A majority of the madrassas get the required funds from local businessmen and traders, along with religious foundations, charities and Pakistanis living abroad. The Education Ministry says it introduced the "latest computer technology" to 30 madrassas and paid the salaries of 950 teachers on a three-year scheme. This revolution will be very helpful in the prosperous of the madrassas system in Pakistan. People send their children to get the Islamic education as well as technological subjects which were recently started in most madrassas by the Education Ministry of Pakistan.
