The Assam government on Monday tabled a Bill in the Legislative Assembly to abolish all state-run Madrassas by converting them into general schools from April 1 next year. Despite an united opposition raising objections on tabling of the Bill, Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma introduced The Assam Repealing Bill, 2020 on the first day of the three-day winter session.
The legislation proposes to abolish the two existing Acts The Assam Madrassa Education (Provincialisation) Act, 1995 and The Assam Madrassa Education (Provincialisation of Services of Employees and Re-Organisation of Madrassa Educational Institutions) Act, 2018. This bill is not to control and repeal the private Madrassas, Sarma said, adding inclusion of the word private in the statement of objects and reasons of the bill was a mistake.
