Lucknow, 13th Oct. Elementary Mathematics, History, Elementary Science and Civics will be taught as compulsory subjects as per the NCERT syllabus from the next academic session to the students of recognized madrasas in Uttar Pradesh to bring madrasa education at par with the education in other schools. The UP Board of Madrasa Education has taken this decision.
These subjects are currently optional, but from now on, students will be taught these subjects up to the senior secondary level on the pattern followed by CBSE. The board has also decided to conduct the final year examination of Kamil (Graduate) and Fazil (Post Graduate) students in offline mode from October 25 to October 30.
According to RP Singh, the registrar of the newly formed UP Board of Madrasa Education, there was a repeated demand to include modern subjects in the curriculum to meet the basic requirements of the present times. To all the students, from inception to senior secondary level, these subjects will now be taught on CBSE pattern and from NCERT books.
The examinations of 3rd year Kamil (undergraduate) students and 2nd year Fazil (postgraduate) students, who are around 14,000 to 15,000, will be conducted in offline mode amid COVID protocols, including social distancing, sanitisation and wearing of masks.
