Assam govt to shut down all govet-run madrassas, ‘tols’
After dissolving the State Madrassa Education Board in 2018, Indian state Assam's education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma yesterday announced that the state government is going to close down all government-run madrassas in the state. Stating that they can't allow religious education with public money, the minister said that a notification to this effect would be issued next month. In February this year, Sarma had announced that the government has decided to close down not just government-run madrassas but also government-run Sanskrit 'tols'.
