Terrorism, Religious and Ethnic Intolerance Issues in the Syllabuses and Textbooks of Bengali and English Medium and Madrasah Education in Bangladesh an Appraisal Year of publication: 2014 Author: NM Sajjadul Hoque The author argues that education is a catalyst for social change and a powerful instrument for overcoming social and security problems. In other words, the author believes that syllabuses and textbooks of both the general and madrasa education streams of Bangladesh have a significant role in educating people to counter terrorism as well as religious and ethnic intolerance. This paper attempts, however, by reviewing the current syllabuses and textbooks of general and madrasa education streams, and also by assessing peoples’ opinions in Bangladesh, to know whether the syllabuses and text books are adequately addressing, or not, the issues of terrorism and religious and ethnic intolerance. Terrorism, Religious and Ethnic Intolerance Issues in the Syllabuses and Textbooks of Bengali and English Medium and Madrasah Education in Bangladesh an Appraisal Year of publication: 2014 Author: NM Sajjadul Hoque L'auteur fait valoir que l'éducation est un catalyseur du changement social et un instrument puissant pour surmonter les problèmes sociaux liés à la sécurité. En d'autres termes, l'auteur estime que les programmes et les manuels scolaires de l’enseignement général et de la madrasa au Bangladesh ont un rôle important à jouer dans la lutte contre le terrorisme, l'intolérance religieuse et ethnique, à travers l'éducation. Ce document s’efforce, toutefois, d’examiner, si les programmes et les manuels abordent de manière adéquate, ou non, les questions du terrorisme et de l'intolérance religieuse et ethnique. L’auteur évalue les programmes actuels et les manuels en cours d’utilisation dans les établissements d’enseignement général et dans les madrasas, ainsi que les points de vue des Bangladeshis.

Education Reform in Pakistan Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: International Crisis Group In April 2010, the eighteenth constitutional amendment committed Pakistan to free and compulsory education for all children between the ages of five and sixteen. Yet millions are still out of school, and the education system remains alarmingly impoverished. The madrasa (religious school) sector flourishes, with no meaningful efforts made to regulate the seminaries, many of which propagate religious and sectarian hatred. Militant violence and natural disasters have exacerbated the dismal state of education. The public education system needs to foster a tolerant citizenry, capable of competing in the labour market and supportive of democratic norms within the country and peace with the outside world. Education Reform in Pakistan Year of publication: 2014 Corporate author: International Crisis Group En Avril 2010, le Pakistan s’est engagé, l'amendement constitutionnel XVIII, à mettre en place une éducation gratuite et obligatoire pour tous les enfants âgés de cinq à seize ans. Pourtant, des millions d’enfants ne sont encore à l'école et le système éducatif s’appauvrit d’une façon alarmante. Le secteur de la madrasa (école religieuse) fleurit, sans que des efforts significatifs soient déployés pour réglementer les séminaires, qui propagent souvent la haine religieuse et le sectarisme. La violence militante et les catastrophes naturelles ont aggravé l'état lamentable de l'éducation. Le système public de l'éducation doit favoriser une citoyenneté tolérante, compétitive sur le marché du travail et apportant son soutien aux normes démocratiques dans le pays et à la paix avec le monde extérieur.
