Education Minister Dipu Moni has said the country’s religious educational institutions, including Qawmi madrasas, should come under the registration process of the government.
“Qawmi madrasas need to be regulated bringing those under a single board. It’s essential to make a time-befitting educational system for religious educational institutions, including Qawmi madrasas, and bring those under the government’s registration process,” she said in the parliament on Sunday.
To this end, she said, the issue of formulation of a policy and formation of a single Qawmi Education Board combining the existing six separately-run boards is under the government’s review.
There are now 19,199 Qawmi madrasas across the country, Dipu Moni added.
