The Assam government has renamed 1,281 madrasas as ‘Middle English’ or ME schools.

The move followed the conversion of all government-run and government-aided or provincialised madrasas into general schools under the supervision of the State Directorate of Elementary Education.

“Consequent to the conversion of all Govt and Provincialized Madrasas into general schools under SEBA, @SchoolEdnAssam has changed the names of 1,281 ME Madrasas into ME Schools by a notification today,” Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu posted on X on Wednesday.

Western Assam’s Dhubri district topped the list with 269 madrasas-turned-general schools followed by central Assam’s Nagaon district with 165, and western Assam’s Barpeta with 158.
