This book interrogates the contemporary practice of Integrating
Islamic and secular education among Muslim dominated areas in
Kenya. Integration of Islamic and secular education is a popular
phenomenon in Garissa sub-county as a response to demand for
Islamic education to satisfy religious needs and demand. The high
Muslim population in Garissa sub-county was an overarching driver
of demand for integrated education. Muslim parents wanted their
children to attain both secular and Islamic education. Parents
sought integrated education to reduce the amount of time their
children spent moving between three institutions: primary school,
madrassa and Duksi from which they sought both secular and Islamic
education. The school in this study adapted a bi-functional model
of integration where both a madrassa providing Islamic education
and a primary school providing secular education co-existed as one
institution but operating independently. However, secular dominated
Islamic education in this arrangement hence the need for a balanced
curriculum that would give adequate attention to both religious and
secular education so as to adequately cater for needs of both types
education.
