With various BJP-ruled states, including Karnataka, considering introducing mainstream schools in madrasas, minority universities have taken the lead in bridging the chasm. The Karnataka institution will train over 1,400 students using NIOS (National Institute of Institute) and the national board coursework. The classes will start on May 20, after the Ramzan holiday.




  • After receiving inquiries from parents about 'poor quality of education,' Karnataka School Education Minister BC Nagesh previously noted that the state government planned to consider introducing mainstream education in madrasas.

  • This same SGI has developed a platform to provide classrooms to 5,000 Huffaz (madrasa dropouts) and 5,000 madrasa students in 50 madrasas across India.

  • The 'Madrasa Plus program is an 18-month course designed specifically for dropout rates or individuals who have never attended school but have received faith-based education. The chance is provided for pupils to enroll here and pass Class X.



According to the SGI, the system's primary objective is to introduce madrasa-educated students into other mainstream education via free bridge courses and individualized teaching classes. In Karnataka, six madrasas for modern education have been identified in Bidar, Tumkur, Ramanagara, Hassan, Hubballi, and Sriranagapatna.



Karnataka madrasa pupils will learn in accordance with the NIOS and state board syllabus, according to Dr. Thouseef Madikeri, CEO of SGI. "The NIOS syllabus must be followed since students from many other states, including Maharashtra and West Bengal, a study in madrasas." Anything other than that, because Kannada is required by law, all such students must study it., the NIOS syllabus must be followed." Otherwise, because Kannada is mandatory by law, all such students will struggle to complete the state board syllabus. We are only teaching the state board course material among the Karnataka students," Madikeri explained. While the National Institute of Open Schooling curriculum includes English, Hindi, Maths, Science, and Social Science, the state board curriculum includes Kannada, Hindi, English, Social Science, Science, and Mathematics.




  • Indeed, the SGI is working with Maulana Azad National Urdu University to plan a campus recruitment campaign to hire 500 teachers for this project. Selected teachers will receive a monthly salary ranging from Rs 15,000 to Rs 30,000 and a food allowance.



Some maulanas, however, have voiced opposition to madrasa students receiving modern education. "There were earlier obstacles from maulanas who opposed modern education," Madikeri explained. However, with central government initiatives aimed at modernizing madrasas and state governments such as Uttar Pradesh and Assam putting pressure on madrasas to include decent education, the maulanas nowadays are welcoming it." After trying to pass Class X, the program hopes to encourage students to pursue diplomas, polytechnics, and other higher education opportunities. The students are scheduled to take the Class X exam in October 2024.
