state patronage, the number of these institutions today has multiplied
and today there are close to 50,000 of such institutions/schools in

commonly thought that the pedagogical patterns are such that critical

paper is to know about the reform, its results and points of view, and
the reaction of the Islamic seminaries towards these Madrassah
reforms.
