Educational certificates issued by State Madarsa Boards will be considered at par with the ones issued by the CBSE or any other board, the Minority Affairs Ministry has said in response to an RTI query.
In response to an RTI query, the Ministry said in order to provide higher education, the certificates issued by the state madarsa boards would be considered at par with certificates issued by the Central Board of Secondary Education, Council of Board of School Education or any other board.
As per the RTI reply, of the 88 Muslim-dominated districts in the country, commercial education will be provided in 33 districts.
Moradabad-based RTI activist Saleem Beg had sought information from the Minority Affairs Ministry on the steps taken by the Central Government to improve conditions of Muslims as per the recommendations of the Sachhar committee.
The Ministry informed that in places where the number of Urdu-speaking people is more than 25 per cent, Urdu teachers should be arranged for in Government schools there.
