High Education Madrassas To Continue In Assam, New Rules For Private Ones | Read

The Assam government has reiterated its stand to close a section of government-run madrassa in the state by next academic year, and said a notification to this effect will be issued in November. However, Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma gave a crucial clarification today. He said the higher madrassa education schools would function as usual as they already follow the State Education Board of Assam, SEBA, rules. Private Madrassas would also be allowed to function, but with stringent regulations, he added.
