Madrasa Franchise Creates Radical Pipeline

A state‑backed 'franchise' model — where cash‑strapped governments certify and pay private religious schools in exchange for control — can rapidly convert informal religious schooling into a nationwide radicalization network. This model accelerates enrollment, standardizes hardline curricula, and moves pedagogical control from independent educators (including banned female teachers) to a central extremist authority. — If replicated or left unchecked, franchise‑style certification of religious schools can turn local education systems into fast, scalable pipelines for extremist recruitment with regional and international security consequences.
