Despite fierce opposition from religious parties, there have been minor victories, like a couple of madrassahs agreeing to include secular subjects like math, English, and computer studies in their curricula. There has also been administrative action against a few religious institutions for encroaching on public space - practically unheard of since official patronage of religious parties began in the 1970's, when their cadres were needed in the war against the Soviets.
尽管遭到了来自宗教党派的强烈反对，这些举措还是取得了有限的胜利。如几所宗教学校同意将数学、英语和计算机等世俗学科纳入其课程之中。还有几所宗教机构因蚕食公共空间而受到行政处分-这在20世纪70年代宗教党派通过向抗苏战争输出干部正式介入政治以来几乎是闻所未闻的。
