The federal government has decided to make recitation of the holy Quran compulsory in the national educational curriculum, Minister of State for Education and Training Balighur Rahman announced while addressing a press conference at the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII).
The minister said it would be compulsory to give Quranic education to all students from grade 1 to grade 12 in all schools and colleges.
“Students from grade 1 to grade 5 will be educated about the ideology of the holy Quran, while students from grade 6 to grade 10 will be taught Quran recitation with translation,” the minister said, adding that “those in public schools would also be taught various Surahs about events and incidents narrated in the Quran”.
The minister further said that “students from grade 10 to intermediate would be taught about instructions given in the Quran about dealing with our lives by recitation of various Surahs”.
He said the government has decided to allot 15 minutes to recitation of the holy Quran every day.
Rahman said all these recommendations have been sent to the provincial governments for implementation.
Maulana Sheerani, who heads the Council of Islamic Ideology, said that they were grateful to the government for its gesture and promised his full cooperation in this regard.
