Uttar Pradesh Amends Madarsa Act to Remove Higher Education Degree Authority
The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, approved amendments to the UP Madarsa Education Board Act, 2004, removing the Board's authority to regulate higher education degrees like Kamil and Fazil. This change aligns with the Supreme Court's November 2024 ruling, which upheld the Act but deemed higher education provisions unconstitutional. The Board will continue overseeing education up to Class 12 equivalency, while higher education courses will be integrated into the state's broader higher education framework, with institutions like Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University considered for governance.
