MADRASA 2 LST

The draft bill said that a religious scholar of Imam
Shafai Sect, a scholar from Shia sect and another from Dawoodi
Bohra sect will be members of the proposed body. One member
should be a Muslim scholar of the traditional madrasa
education.

Six members will be Muslims who have made outstanding
contributions in the field of social sciences, humanities,
sciences and education, the draft bill said. One member will
be a Muslim philanthropist with contribution to education of
Muslims.

These members will be appointed by the Central
government from a panel. Chairperson and other members will be
appointed for a period of three years. Chairperson should be
an educationist of eminence, integrity and standing with
distinguished contributions, the draft bill said.

Sibal said the government is in no hurry to introduce
the bill.

"We will evolve consensus and then we will move
forward. The Muslim community should not think that there is
any interference from the government in the religious
teaching. If the community does not want, we will scrap the
bill," Sibal said.

As per the proposal, the board will take steps for
standardisation of non-religious aspects of Madrasa education.
It will also recommend introduction of modern textbooks other
than religious texts as extra reading to complement students'
knowledge. PTI BKM
