Muslims: Why don’t a lot of madrasahs teach subjects like Math, Science, Critical Thinking and Liberal Arts?

I know in places like Pakistan and Yemen, a lot of the madrasahs will ONLY teach Islamic studies and Koranic memorization.
But doesn’t the lack of educating real-world skills mean a lot of those Muslim students aren’t going to find meaningful jobs?

They had this neat article in the BBC News about it:

Do you think madrasahs should teach secular subjects alongside religious studies?
