The madrasas are providing primary religious education to the students, but it is important to have a focus on e-learning process for the next generation. The teaching methodology is different but requires new strategies related to personality development training and the establishment of central madrasa teaching programs. The short terms courses are offered to the students, but they are far away from the modern subjects.
