Jamiat Ulama to contest Assam s decision to convert madrasas The decision was taken at a four-hour meeting held at the Garigaon madrasa on Tuesday following Monday’s announcement
The Assam State Jamiat Ulama has decided to legally challenge Dispur’s decision to convert all government-run madrasas into regular schools from the 2021-22 academic session.
The state Jamiat decision was taken at a four-hour meeting held at the Garigaon madrasa here on Tuesday following Monday’s announcement by education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma that the word “madrasa” will be removed from government-run madrasas along with theological courses from April 1, 2021. In effect, there will be no high madrasa exam from 2022. High madrasas are equivalent to high schools (Classes IX and X) and are under the Board of Secondary Education, Assam.
