Education policy : Focus on religious education
Islamiat as a compulsory subject from Class 1 to 12
Islamabad, Sep 28: The new education policy of the federal government has focused on
teaching of human rights as envisioned by Islam. In line with the
policy, religious education will be promoted through hiring of
qualified teachers and publication of quality textbooks. The
objective of religious education is to teach ethics and good behaviour
to the students and make them learn the basic principles for spending
their daily social life.According to the policy, Islamiat will be
taught as a compulsory subject from Class 1 to 12. Students will be
instructed about morality through examples set by Prophet Hazrat
Muhammad (PBUH) in his day-to-day affairs and dealings with Muslims and
non-Muslims. The government will ensure that the Islamiat
textbooks and other learning materials do not contain anything contrary
to Islamic injunctions or any controversial material regarding any sect
or religious and ethnic minorities. The policy will make sure
that the Islamiat textbooks allow the children to learn, understand and
apply the fundamental principles in their lives, with an aim to change
and build a society based on the principles of Quran and Sunnah. The
policy will focus on the rights and duties of parents, relatives,
neighbours, teachers, friends, companions, children, women, orphans,
widows, patients, handicapped persons, elders, travellers, guests and
non-Muslims. There will also be lessons on tolerance,
forgiveness, patience, honesty, piety, chastity, enlightenment, service
to humanity, punctuality, simplicity, love for the country and
countrymen, Islamic brotherhood, truth, dignity of labour, equality,
commitment to vows, 'halal' earnings, discipline, respect for law,
national unity, mutual co-existence and purity in the light of Islamic
teachings. The policy says that qualified teachers will be
appointed to teach Islamiat and Arabic, adding that training programmes
in the two subjects will be provided for pre-service and in-service
teachers. The government plans to arrange for the printing of
rare books on Islam and charts and materials relating to Islamic
injunctions, and will distribute them amongst the libraries of schools,
colleges, universities, research institutions and madrassas. The
government will award scholarships to students, who want to get higher
education in Islamic studies. The new policy also has a provision for
non-Muslim students to study ethics and moral education in place of
Islamiat. The news
