ISLAMABAD: Pakistani religious scholars and US experts have developed a model curriculum for Pakistan’s madrassas, combining religious studies with physical and social sciences.
International Centre for Religion and Diplomacy says the model is based on best educational practices in the Muslim world.
Dr Douglas Johnston, President of the centre said: “The basic idea behind the model is not to force madrassa leaders to use a prescribed curriculum, but to offer them an alternative for accomplishing what many of them already want.
“This should be viewed as only the beginning of what will be an ongoing process of madrassa-led curriculum enhancement.”
