The University has been working sincerely towards the attainment of excellence as well as character-building; and to inculcate in its students the spirit of inquiry, research, dedication and zeal, so that they will be able to bring prosperity in the country. Having more than 25 academic disciplines; the department of English is among the pioneer departments, launched since the establishment of UOM. The department comprises of diverse and dynamic faculty members promoting education at BS and Master levels, which adds to its worth and production of minds that are persevering to contribute in the larger spectrum of society. The current project is also the outcome of the efforts of its faculty, which focuses on the issue of English language teaching reforms in religious madrassas, which is among the concerns for those who feel and think for promoting education economy. Pakistani Madrassas have become a primary focus of researchers and scholars in policy-oriented books and journals. Majority of them have attempted to investigate and establish potential links of madrassas with non-state actors and religious extremists particularly Pak-Afghan Taliban. Importance is also given to calculate their number and students with a view to measure the magnitude of the threat to global security. Other studies focus historical evolution of madrassas, their organizational hierarchies and management, their curriculum and philosophy of education. Overall, most of the studies lack well-grounded empirical research and few of them can be noted for their worth. More obscure and less revealing are writings particularly articles in press and popular media that deal with the issue. They are mostly sensationalized overgeneralizations or subjective opinions and apprehensions based on reading, observing or associating with madrassas alumni. Overall, the past grandeur and present decay in educational excellence of madrassa is a theme common to most of these studies. We hope that this conference will revive the need for mainstreaming of education system in madrassas for the overall good of the country. DR.
