The meeting between the army chief and the ulema for madressah reforms is a step in the right direction. Addition of compulsory subjects of science and mathematics to the curriculum would help students find suitable jobs and contribute to the economy.
I would suggest that social sciences also be taught to them to add to their awareness on international affairs. Those with relevant aptitude could also be offered vocational/technical training to acquire skills to earn adequate income for livelihood.
