Lahore, On the occasion of the third founding day of Nizam-ul-Madris Pakistan, Dr. Hassan Mohi-ud-Din Qadri, Chairman of the Minhaj-ul-Quran International Supreme Council, announced the introduction of a fool-proof examination system and significant curriculum reforms in religious schools. This initiative aims to harmonize the educational culture of religious schools with modern requirements while preserving their traditional essence.
According to Minhaj-Ul-Quran International, Dr. Qadri highlighted the system’s achievements, including the overhaul of a nearly 300-year-old curriculum to include contemporary subjects and the Mustafavi thought emphasizing peace, mutual coexistence, and interfaith harmony. The new curriculum was developed and fully implemented within a short span of three years, marking a significant milestone in the history of religious education in Pakistan.
Dr. Qadri pointed out that religious schools play a crucial role in preserving the theoretical foundations of Islam and contributing to a stable and peaceful Pakistan. However, he noted that necessary reforms at the curriculum and teaching levels had been previously neglected, hindering the integration of religious schools into the national development framework. Nizam-ul-Madris Pakistan’s efforts have successfully bridged this gap.
The chairman further elaborated on the introduction of a fool-proof examination system, which features hundreds of examination centers under simultaneous online monitoring, ensuring transparency and setting a new standard for religious educational institutions. This initiative is complemented by refresher courses for teachers, equipping them with modern teaching techniques, and providing students with education in English, science, and computers.
Dr. Qadri emphasized the importance of preparing students from religious seminaries to fulfill their religious, social, and societal responsibilities across various professional fields. He expressed his satisfaction with the progress made by Nizam-ul-Madris Pakistan and extended his congratulations to all the organizers for their significant contributions to the system’s success.
