The study evolves on three major components; 1)What are the rules of the existing laws that can assist madrasah education to be at par with national education system? Whilst this system is acknowledged by the modern education system in Malaysia, but until now there is no specific law that safeguard this system; 2) What are the lacunas identified in three important elements of madrasah system including administrative, financial and curriculum? 3) What are the international education framework models which may serve as examples for Malaysia Education System in order to enable madrasah to be included in Malaysia National Education mainstream? The objective of this research is to envisage a madrasah education system that is brought under the Ministry of Education's umbrella and national framework. The study limits to Malaysian laws however it also gives reference to international legal instruments. The method of research is done by two ways namely library research and interviews with Ministry of Education and madrasah representatives. The results obtained from the research are 1) Madrasah needs to fulfil the conditions sets by the Government although efforts have been made to integrate curriculum and to cooperate actively to reach the minimum required standards; 2) International education legal frameworks from Finland, Indonesia, Singapore, Turkey and Egypt are evident as models for madrasah in Malaysia to improve its system; 3) The rights of education does not exclude the rights to access religious education based upon the examined international legal instruments. Finally, this study anticipates madrasah is prepared to be fully recognized by the Ministry of Education specifically and other international governments. Hence, madrasah will have a better standing in Malaysia National Education system and to qualify its students to compete justly with other students from different types of school.,Master of Laws
