Male Madrasah Graduates

Ms Sylvia Lim asked the Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts and the Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs how many male Singaporeans completed their studies and graduated from madrasahs in the last three years.

Assoc Prof Dr Yaacob Ibrahim: The six full-time local madrasahs offer both religious and secular subjects up to different levels. Madrasah students leave the system at different points, following which many would continue their education at other institutions, including our ITEs, JCs and polytechnics. Some would proceed to complete their pre-university studies at the madrasahs . Between 2008 and 2010, about 150 male students continued with pre-university studies in the madrasahs .
