Conclusions
Those who believe that it is essential to learn Arabic as the Quran and the Hadiths have been written in Arabic, also believe Madrasah education to be essential. However, it is not pragmatic to speak in favor of the existing Madrasah education system instead of in favor of improving the Arabic language education that exists in the graduate and post graduate levels. The reason being that Arabic language teaching and Madrasah education is not one and the same thing. In the Madrasah students are merely taught to read and memorize Arabic not to understand the language. With the opportunities that exist at university level, a student can become a true expert in the language. Madrasah education is not necessary for that.

Similar Education for All versus Madrasah Education
According to the opinions of the civil society, there should be a single curriculum for all citizens of the country up to a certain level of education. Which implies that they are in favor of a single system of education in the country. They opined that discriminatory and dual systems such as Madrasahs and cadet colleges should not be allowed to exist. They want the same system and the same opportunities for all regardless of economic status, gender, or religion. They believe that there is no need for religious education under the general curriculum. What is needed is a curriculum that will help develop moral and human virtues. There may exist the need for individuals versed in religious education to perform religious occasions and rituals. Hence there can be religious educational institutions such as Madrasahs, but in limited number and scope. In addition, these institutions should be in keeping with the modern age and based on scientific learning.
