Improve the madrasa education

Dear Sir
According to the BANBEIS, there are presently 10,450 Alia madrasas in operation in Bangladesh where more than two million students are enrolled in different classes from primary to post-graduate level. Thanks to the government's recognition and its pioneering method of unifying Islamic and secular education, Alia-madrasa-based education became widely popular among common Muslims.

However, most of these madrasas, including the Government Madrasah-E-Alia, Dhaka have lost their foundational spirit of producing skilled manpower by providing unified education with religious knowledge. Severe shortage of qualified teachers, stigma towards madrasa education and lack of academic reformation has completely crumbled this education system.

In this context, as a madrasa student, I would like to request our government to take necessary steps to provide more organized assistance to upgrade and update the management and the quality of education of alia madrasas.
