Abstract:
Now a Days Madarsa Education is major source of education for Muslims in India. Madarsa is an Arabic word which means an educational institution. They were never limited to provide only religious education. But this concept has been changed and Madarsas have become the centre of religious education only. Many a time Madarsas are the only educational option available to Muslim children, especially in areas where no schools have reached the Muslim masses Marginalized Muslim communities are increasingly demanding more quality education from their Madarsas. Madarsa Institution facing lots of challenges. Like, most of the Madarsas in India are privately owned and Madarsa leaders may not feel a need to fulfill the community desires. Although Muslim parents are attracted to the safe environment of these schools, they are aware that a purely religious education will not help their children to earn a decent living, because of outdated traditional methods and technique of teaching and learning, with a negative outlook towards modern subjects and also due to lack of innovations, experiments and researches. This paper explore some challenges face by Madarsa, suggests some remedial measures also to improve the quality of Madarsa education for overall development of Muslim community.
