Jamiat-e-Ulama-e-Islam Bangladesh has strongly protested the initiative to make music, dance, and drama compulsory in primary education. The organization’s leaders urged the government to reconsider and cancel the decision, emphasizing the need to appoint religious teachers in primary schools as previously promised. The statement was made at a meeting of the Dhaka South unit held at the organization’s central office in Purana Paltan, where Secretary General Maulana Manjurul Islam Afendi spoke as chief guest.
During the meeting, Afendi said that most people in Bangladesh believe in religious and moral values, and the education system should nurture morality, character, patriotism, humanity, and faith-based ethics. He argued that making music, dance, and drama mandatory for young children does not align with the country’s social, cultural, and religious realities.
The leaders called for suspending the initiative and urged the government to consult educationists, religious scholars, and guardians before finalizing any decision. They also reiterated their demand for the swift implementation of the government’s earlier commitment to appoint religious teachers in primary schools.
