Study finds spread of conservatism in Islamic education in Perak

A RECENT research by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute has found at least three issues that affect the spread of conservative and possibly extremist ideas in Islamic education in Perak.

The issues are the lack of regulation in some schools, such as tahfiz schools, the indirect manner in which students are exposed to political or electoral issues and the influence from other states on religious discourse and affairs.
