Several shortcomings were identified for both primary and secondary schools. The goals and objectives of both levels are found to be similar and do not distinguish the students based on their stages of human development. The content too has several shortcomings such as being overwhelmed with adab but lacks character building with the Prophet as the exemplar, lack of hadith and stories of the prophets in the Qur’an, and lack of globalization- related topics. The methods use were found not to sync with the needs of the era. The chapter ends with suggestions for the improvement of ISE.
