Mohila madrasa
Mohila madrasas, and religious educational institutions, are very new in Bangladesh. If one travels from Dhaka to any direction through the highways he will find roadside signboards of mohila madrasas at almost every 5/10 minutes' intervals. This proves that suddenly hundreds of such madrasas have been established in the country.
This new trend proves that many more will come up in near future and may be at some stage most parents will send their girl children to the religious schools/madrasas instead of schools and colleges. This I believe is a strategy of the so-called Islamic forces who want to keep our girls and women away from modern education.
As a Muslim, I am not against Islamic education but I believe education only on religion is not a complete thing to sustain in this world. Now both men and women must work and earn their livelihood. The new education policy tabled by the present government should come into force as early as possible, so that all our men and women get equal opportunities insofar as education is concerned.
