Philippine Model
The dichotomy in the education
of Filipino Muslims has put
them at a great disadvantage.
The
sectarian
Madaris
institutions teach the religion of
Islam with Arabic as the
medium of instruction, and
exclude

The public schools do not offer
Arabic Language and Islamic
Values, thereby depriving Filipino
Muslims of knowledge and skills in
the language of Islam and the
universal values of Islam.
1. Rationale
The rationale for the Philippine

to eliminate this dichotomy and

education in the public schools
and private Madaris, allowint
students to shift or transfer from
one to the other.
