Efforts Underway to Recognize Qawmi Madrasa Certificates: Religious Affairs Advisor
Maulana Dr. A F M Khalid Hossain, Advisor to the Ministry of Religious Affairs, stated that efforts are being made to officially recognize Qawmi Madrasa certificates.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday (October 8) at a Seeratunnabi Mahfil in the Jamiahtus Sunnah Madrasa of Shibchar, Madaripur, he said, "We are working with the Ministry of Education to implement a system so that Qawmi Madrasa graduates can serve in various fields."
He mentioned that the previous government had equated Qawmi certificates with an MA (Master’s) degree. "Now, we are looking into how these graduates can be integrated into different sectors such as schools, colleges, madrasas, the army, air force, navy, and other fields."
Additionally, he discussed the possibility of sending Hajj pilgrims by ship, noting that discussions with a Saudi minister and local ship companies are ongoing. Plans are being made to send 3,000 pilgrims by ship this year to reduce costs.
Maulana Khalid Hossain also emphasized that the Saudi government is supportive of this initiative and that efforts are being made to make Hajj packages more affordable.
