Some Challenges Facing Madrasahs in Eastern Africa

Abstract

In my article in the previous issue of this journal, I indicated how madrasas contributed to human resource of east African countries more especially Uganda. In this article I want to put forward some of the challenges that need to be addressed if these schools are to continue performing their duties. These challenges must be seriously addressed, otherwise these schools may go out of the track. In my view, these challenges may be classified into those connected with the syllabus, teacher oriented and administrative problems. These problems are hereby discussed below.
