Abstract
Dualism in education is not good for Muslim education and an integrated
curriculum should be opted in order to resist secularism in Muslim communities. The purpose
of this paper was to underscore the rapid spread of secularism and the acceptance of education
dualism in the Muslim education in Uganda. This paper gives a detailed explanation of education
dualism and secularism in Muslim communities, most especially in Uganda. The paper also
discloses that integration of the curriculum (“modern” and religious knowledge) is overdue to
improve on the Muslim education in the country. With the use of document analysis method,
this paper explicates secularism and education dualism, and also mentions on how they have
penetrated and been accepted by the Ugandan Muslims community without scrutiny. This paper
discloses the challenges of education dualism and secularism in the Muslim education which have
led to Muslims’ intellectual, cultural, and social divergences from Al-Qur’an and Al-Sunnah in
their education systems and practices. Also the paper proposes the possible solutions on how to
exterminate education dualism and secularism from the Muslim education and communities in
Uganda. In general, the scene of explanation of secularism and education dualism in Muslim
communities in this paper was based on the Ugandan experiences.
