Some Questions to Management of Madrasas question mark?

Although Madarsa has contributed a lot to Muslim society but still questions are being raised whether they have delivered as per expectations. As Madarsas can change the society with their strong infrastructure, and support of people but they have failed to adapt to to act according to changing demands of time.
With due regards, some Questions need to be answered to know the aims and objectives of of Madarsa management to understand why they could not stand up to expectations over the long period they have been in operation. question mark?

1.   Is there any logic behind opposing English, Science and Math in syllabus of Madarsa? Are studying these subjects Haraam?
2.   Are Madarsas not widening the gap between sections and classes of Muslims, by emphasizing too much on Maslaks and aqeedahs?
3.   Why are these people not adapting to changes as per the requirement of time?
4.   Why are they being run like shops in the name of religion?
5.   Why is there no transparency and professional systems in managing of the Madarsas?
6.   For classifying Madarsa for Deeni education and School for Duniyawi education, is there any reference from authentic ahadees?
7.   Why does Madrasa Management try to make Aalim/ Fazil of all students wheether they wish or not, whether he/she is talented for this responsibility or not?
8.   Why do they not improve there syllabus according to the requirements of time?
9.   What would happen if all Muslims take admission in Madarsas only, as they always emphasize the importance of Deeni education only?
10.   If some Managements of Madarsa started Modern education, like English, Science and Maths, now, due to pressure from society, then who are the responsible for the loss of many decades? Why do they only wake up after the water goes over their heads?
11.   Does management ever realize how Madarsa -passed students suffer in irjobs-and practical life, due to lack of professional knowledge?
12.   Why mostly poor people study in Madarsa? Why is it not attractive to middle or higher middle class?

Can Marasas get the same respect, or more as "others"?

13.   Is corruption in Exams (writing with help of note books) not haraam? If yes, then why most exams of Madarsas are not transparent and strict, in this respect?
14.   Should every student not get mixed (Deen and Duniya) education till Class Xth, and then only interested students should go for higher Deeni or Duniyawi education? What harm does the management feel in this kind of a system?
15.   If there is lack of fund in Madarsa for modern education, then how many Madarsa initiated for that and failed due to lack of fund? Why did they fail to attract common people?
16.   Mostly, children of high management/authority of Madarsa get modern education, but they always emphasize for only Deeni education to poor people, is there any logic behind it? Is it not hypocrisy?
17.   Is Madarsa not to blame for the backwardness of our community, for separating the Deeni education from Duniyawi education? Why do they keep out of the mainstream of a large number of Muslims?
18.   If Madarsas run with proper vision, with the infra-structure Madarsas have, they can bring revolution in society. Is madarsa management not responsible for not letting this revolution happen due to their personal ego or own benefits.
19.   Why do we depend for everything on other community? Should we not study the structure of Muslim countries, how they produce people for all walks of life.
20.   Does management of Madarsa practice the process of self-analysis to serve the community in a better way? Do they have programs for self-improvement according to needs of time? Being a responsible organization is it not its responsibility to always evaluate its systems and processes.
21.   Why are these people always against CHANGE, and improvement which is a natural phenomenon.
22.   Why is the educational system of Madarsas increasing differences of Maslak, why no efforts are made to decrease the differences for the sake of unifying the community?
23.   Although Madarsa has contributed a lot to the society, is it as per expectation? What is wrong with it, should not the system be reformed?
