I personally think integration of non-religious Subjects into Madressa will not help to increase its importance. The reason that Parents send children to learn Modern science is because they are forced to. For any kind of college education the child has to pass 12th std in either the National Board or the State Board. The Madressa has no influence in the childrens Career. So many Parents send them to just learn to recite the Quran and stop it after that. The declining 'popularity' of Madressa has very little to do with missing Modern Science subjects.

If integrating Modern Science is with the intention of introducing acceptance of Science, then its a different story. But I m not sure what would be advantage, since the kid will be going to 'formal' school anyway.
