Madrasa Education in Bihar: Assessment of Learning Infrastructure
Abstract
Education is the most effective weapon for bringing about meaningful social change. Education is the primary concern for Muslims in India and plays a crucial role in improving their well-being. Madrasa plays an important role in educational, economic, political, and social development. Most Madrasa run with only charity and offer education to the poor and orphans. The objective of the study is to assess the infrastructural gap at Madarsas in Bihar.
The study findings reveal the lack of infrastructural facilities in the Madrasas of Bihar. The minimum basic infrastructural facilities are required at Madrasa to enhance the teaching and learning environment. To renovate the Madrasa into an institution of transformative learning, the government should provide them with infrastructural support. Apart from the salary of the teachers, the government should also provide funds for the operational development of the Madrasa. Stakeholders should take steps to maximize the participation of these students in higher education through an increase in the number of institutions in Muslim-majority areas. Much more is to be done in the Madrasas of Bihar, from infrastructural development to investment in teachers to improve their quality through training and capacity building and updating syllabus and curriculum.
