23. Whether Madarsah education has led to the decline of educational or economic CONCLUSION position of Indian Muslims in present environment may be a debatable issue. It is observed that Islam-Centric teaching is not friendly to the job market in the contemporary world is the ground reality. In the absence of modern knowledge the graduates produced by madrasahs are neither able to improve their own material prosperity nor they provide leadership to the Muslim Community to face the challenges of modern world. Contd 23

24. Degrees awarded by madarasahs are not recognized by Most of the Indian Universities except in the theological department of Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia, new Delhi. Such degrees are not recognized for administrative jobs in the either Central or State government. These degrees are not market friendly, they do not have any practical value. Contd.. 24

25. In view of the on going changes in the social, cultural, economic, and political environment drastic changes are required in Madarsah system of education so that Indian Muslims should come to terms with the changing needs of contemporary Indian society. Contd. 25

26. A section of Muslim thinkers are in favour of modernization of madarsahs education and transforming them according to the present day need. Educational backwardness of Indian Muslims is a national problem as Sachchar Committee has pointed out also. But so long Muslims do not respond to the remedial measures it is difficult to be resolved. The country should be ready for their rescue provided they come forward and make a conscious Endeavour to transform their Madarsahs into modern educational institutions with Islamic subjects as optional 26 courses.

27. 27 The education system in Madarsahs should aim to produce individuals who can survive in and relate to a society of diverse faiths without feeling a need to compromise their own faith. Muslim educationists wish to play a central role in the consultation process where national and local policy is being determined. Financial assistance should be made readily available to support industries that can satisfy the resource requirements of education on Islamic topics. Greater time and resources needs to be devoted to the training of teachers for further religious awareness. Contd

28. Muslim groups and relevant authorities should be encouraged to develop a suitable A level curriculum and to promote such a syllabus. Religious Education or Traditional Education compulsory at initial stage of education only. should become Efforts should be made to synchronize the supplementary curriculum with that of the basic education system so as to avoid duplication of effort and waste of resources. Appropriate Madarsahs should be provided with financial assistance in order to fulfill the role of content provision for the education of Muslims. Where a Madrasah is performing poorly, inspectors of Madrasahs of the Boards or Univerities should take into account the impact of funding restrictions. This issue takes on greater significance given the explicit policy objectives of intervention in poorly performing Madarsahs. 28
