The Directorate of Madrasha Education is a Bangladesh government department under the Ministry of Education responsible for overseeing more than 20 thousand madrasas in Bangladesh. [1] [2]

History

The Directorate of Madrasha Education was established on 1 July 2015. [2]

The Directorate of Madrasha Education requested the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education to remove teachers involved in the murder of Nusrat Jahan Rafi from the monthly pay order. [3]

In March 2020, Ebtedayee madrasa teachers demanded the Directorate of Madrasha Education nationalise their jobs. [4] Shafiuddin Ahmed, Director General of the Directorate of Madrasha Education, assured them their demands would be taken into consideration. [4] The directorate failed to provide information on how many educational institutions under it had established the mandated sexual harassment prevention committees. [5]

The directorate launched a clean up operation in August 2023 targeting corruption in madrasas. [6] In December 2024, the Directorate of Madrasha Education developed a transfer policy for madrasa teachers similar to existing ones for school and college teachers. [7]
