[DW] Pakistain's government is all set to implement a uniform education system across the country, which critics fear could increase Islamization of schools and universities.
| Goody. No doubt that’ll work out well. |
The first phase of the implementation involves primary school students in the first through fifth grades. The plan mandates the students to read the entire Koran with translation, learn Islamic prayers and memorize a number of hadith (words, actions and approval of the Prophet Muhammad).
It also stipulates that every school and college must employ a pair of certified Hafiz (a person who has memorized the Koran) and Qari (a Koran reciter) to teach these subjects.
