Alia Madrasa
The Alia Madrasa or Alia Madrasa education system is a modern Islamic education system in the Indian subcontinent, combining Islamic and general education, and is considered the oldest education system in the subcontinent since the beginning of British rule in India. In 1780, Warren Hastings, the governor of Fort William in Bengal, introduced this educational system by establishing the Calcutta Alia Madrasa. Later, many madrasas were established in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh based on the model of this Kolkata Alia Madrasa; these educational institutions are basically called Alia Madrasas.
Alia Madrasa teaches all general subjects including Quran, Hadith, science, mathematics and English. Therefore, Alia Madrasa students can compete in various government job examinations. According to the curriculum, in Aliya Madrasa, 5 years are spent in Ebtedayi or primary education, 5 years in Dakhil or secondary education, 2 years in Alim or higher secondary education, 2 years in Fazil or undergraduate education, and 2 years in Kamil or postgraduate education. In all, a total of 16 years of course are conducted from Ebtedayi to Kamil. Currently, the Ebtedayi, Dakhil, and Alim levels of Alia Madrasa in Bangladesh are affiliated with the Bangladesh Madrasa Education Board, and the Fazil and Kamil levels are affiliated with the Islamic Arabic University.
The Calcutta Alia Madrasa, founded by Lord Warren Hastings in 1780, is considered one of the oldest examples of education in the Indian subcontinent. Apart from this, among the unique educational systems, the University of Calcutta was established in 1857 under the English education system and Darul Uloom Deoband in 1866 under the Qaumi education system. Therefore, the Alia Madrasa education system is said to be the oldest in the whole of India.
When the Calcutta Alia Madrasa was established in 1780, committees were formed at various times to reform the syllabus and education of the madrasa. In 1791, the Board of Directors of the Calcutta Madrasa introduced the curriculum and syllabus for the first time. This syllabus was implemented in the Calcutta Alia Madrasa and was also implemented in all the madrasas affiliated to this madrasa in Bengal, Assam, Bihar and Orissa. Then in 1869, a new committee was formed and some amendments were made to the curriculum again. In 1871, the Justice Norman Committee made some changes to the Bengal Madrasa education system. To spread the educational system of Calcutta Madrasa to East Bengal, three government Aliya Madrasas were established in 1873 with the funds of the Mohsin Trust: Dhaka Madrasa (now Kabi Nazrul Government College, Dhaka and Islamia Government High School, Dhaka), Chittagong Madrasa (now Government Haji Muhammad Mohsin College, Chittagong and Haji Muhammad Mohsin Government High School, Chittagong) and Rajshahi Madrasa (now Haji Muhammad Mohsin Government High School, Rajshahi).
The 36 recommendations of the Hunter Committee Report of 1882 were implemented by 1884, bringing about a dynamic change in the education system. In 1907, the Calcutta Conference of the British government allowed the Calcutta Aliya Madrasa to open a three-year title class equivalent to a Master's degree. In 1910, the Mohammedan Education Advisory Committee, formed under the leadership of Principal A.H. Hurley, made some further reforms in the Madrasa education system.
In 1914, the curriculum prepared by the Mohammedan Education Advisory Committee led by Shamsul Ulama Abu Nasr Wahid proposed the Old Scheme and New Scheme Madrasah systems and it was implemented in 1915. Basically, to make Muslim students interested in English education, two types of New Scheme Madrasahs were started, namely Junior and Senior. At that time, junior madrasahs taught up to the fifth grade and senior madrasahs taught up to the 10th grade. The curriculum of these senior madrasahs was made compulsory and included in the government grant. At that time, Muslim students were also interested in learning English to get government jobs, which is why they preferred to study in New Scheme Madrasahs. At that time, the New Scheme education system quickly became popular.
The Shamsul Huda Committee in 1927 recommended the central organization of examinations for the Alim, Fazil and Fakhrul Muhaddisin classes of the Old Scheme Senior Madrasas of Bengal and Assam and proposed the formation of a Madrasa Education Board to organize these central examinations. On the advice of this committee, the subjects of Sihah Sittah (Bukhari Sharif, Muslim Sharif, Nasa'i, Tirmidhi, Ibn Mazah, Abu Dawood), Usulul Hadith, Tafsirul Bayzabi, Tafsirul Kashshaf, Tafsirul Kabir, Tafsirul Majmuul Bayan, Fiqh, Usulul Fiqh, Mantiq, History of Islam etc. were included in the Kamil syllabus.
In 1927, the first Madrasa Education Board was formed under the name of Central Madrasa Education Board, Bangla, at the initiative of Khwaja Kamaluddin Ahmed, a member of Mohammedan Education. The Calcutta Madrasa was affiliated to this education board as a government organization from 1927 to 1979.
