Madrasah in the Philippines

In the Spanish period of colonization, Madrasah was the only form of education available to the Bangsa Moro.

Madrasah Curriculum

During the American period, the Western system of secular education was introduced in Mindanao, Sulu, and Palawan. However, the Moro Muslims rejected the Western concept of education, thinking that it would “Christianize” their children.

Madrasah Curriculum

During the period of Moro resistance against the colonizers (Spain and U.S.A.), Madrasah Education was the single institution that made the survival of Islam possible in the Philippines.

Madrasah CurriculumThe acceptance by the Moro Muslims of secular system of education in the public (government) schools was slow and gradual.

The evolution in Madrasah education began in the 1950’s, when Moro Muslims were sent to study to the Muslim countries.

When these scholars returned in the Philippines, they established formal Madrasah institutions offering the same Islamic sectarian curriculum that they learned from universities abroad.

Madrasah CurriculumOfficial Definition of Madrasah in the

Philippines

Madrasah (pl. madaris)

generally refers to Muslim private schools with core emphasis on Islamic studies and Arabic literacy.

It is a privately-operated school which relies on the support of the local community or foreign donors, particularly from Islamic or Muslim countries.

The madaris are the oldest educational institution in Mindanao and are recognized to be the single most important factor in the preservation of the Islamic faith and culture in the Philippines.

Madrasah CurriculumThe three general descriptive types of Madrasah in the Philippines:

1. Traditional or Weekend Madrasah

Instruction is basically religious. It is considered as non-formal education due to its characteristics: classes are held on Saturdays and Sundays only or days agreed upon by the teacher and the students/pupils; it does not have a formal curriculum;

it is non-graded and may have multi-age grouping; andit only requires its teachers to be graduates of a madrasah or to be an imam (Muslim religious leader); The students are also likely enrolled in public schools.

This type is not recognized and accredited by the Department of Education.

Offers hierarchically-structured education and sequential learning generally adjusted with the formal education system. Kindergarten, primary, and secondary education are offered.

Madrasah CurriculumThe three general descriptive types of Madrasah in

the Philippines:3. Standard Private or Integrated Madrasah

This type of madrasah has been harmonized, upgraded and modified to become a component of the Philippine education system through the issuance of DepED Order No. 51, s. 2004, prescribing the Standard Curriculum for Elementary Public Schools and Private Madaris.

Henceforth, all madrasah institutions in the country shall be required to adopt and implement said standard curriculum to obtain government recognition and accreditation.

In the public schools, the Enriched Curriculum is likewise prescribed mandating the offering of Arabic language and Islamic values for Muslim students throughout the country in areas where there is a Muslim population.

Madrasah CurriculumRoad Map for Upgrading Muslim Basic Education

The Philippine government through the DepEd has developed the Road Map for Upgrading Muslim Basic Education, a comprehensive program for the educational development of Filipino Muslims.

Madrasah CurriculumRoad Map Principles

That Muslims, like all other Filipino citizens, shall have intellectual and educational capacity to participate actively in the social, economic and political endeavors of the country.

A progressive Muslim will be a peace-loving and patriotic Filipino citizen who is able to compete in the job market locally and globally to upgrade his/her quality of life.


That Muslims as Filipino citizens shall advance their educational status, from which the Philippine nation shall obtain political and economic gains and benefits that will ensure a steady flow of investment, not only in Mindanao but in the whole country.


That Muslims as Filipino citizens shall ensure sustained and permanent peace through access to Islamic-friendly educational curriculum and quality basic education comparable to the rest of the Filipino people.


That there shall be a strengthening of the present Madrasah educational system as vital component of the national education system.


That the peace process shall be enhanced when Filipino Muslims are educated in Islamic-friendly quality basic education which will contribute to the eradication of separatist sentiments in the minds of present and future generations of Filipino Muslims.

Madrasah Curriculum Issues and Concerns

1. Limited financial support from the community and charitable institutions,


2. Insufficient textbooks and other reading materials,


3. Lack of school facilities,


4. Unqualified teachers,


5. Unequal opportunity of being employed as their counterparts who graduated in sectarian and non-sectarian schools.

Madrasah Curriculum Recommendations

1. Increase DepEd subsidy to support the implementation of the national curriculum, teacher training and improvement of school infrastructure.


2. Hire qualified Muslim Filipinos who have strong knowledge in Islamic education as faculty to teach in schools and universities where there are considerable number of Muslim students.


3. Develop and enhance Madrasah Curriculum that aims to integrate Muslim students into mainstream society and prepare them for an equal opportunity of being employed in our country.

Madrasah key to

Peace, Unity
