TANJUNG MALIM: The government wants to increase the dignity of the “huffaz” (memorisers of the Quran) in the country by ensuring that they also have academic qualifications and are not left out of the national education system, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister said this could be achieved, among others, by the creation of a special teacher training module provided by Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), in addition to providing the opportunity to the huffaz to continue their studies up to degree level at the university.
