Background

Prime Minister

Qawmi Madrasah would be treated as equivalent to a master's degree in Islamic studies and Arabic.[3] Two days later the Ministry of Education published a gazette elaborating on the decision. It gave a committee formed by the Qawmi Madrasah boards the authority to supervise the Dawrah-e-Hadith examinations.[4]

On 19 September 2018, parliament passed a bill putting the decision into law, retrospective to April 2017. It recognized Al-Haiatul Ulya Lil-Jamiatil Qawmia Bangladesh as a board that integrates the six existing Qawmi Madrasa education boards:[5] Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh, Befaqul Madarisil Qawmia Gauhordanga Bangladesh, Anjumane Ittehadul Madaris Bangladesh, Azad Deeni Edaraye Talim Bangladesh, Tanjeemul Madarisid Diniya Bangladesh and Jatiya Deeni Madrasa Shikkha Board Bangladesh.[6] The chairman of Befaqul Madarisil Arabia Bangladesh will be the ex officio chairman of the combined board.[5]
