Bangladesh Madrasah Teachers' Training Institute is a Bangladesh government training institute under the Ministry of Education responsible for training teachers of Madrasas.[1] It is the only training institute for over 100 thousand madrasa teachers in Bangladesh.[2] There are 2.7 million students in madrasas across Bangladesh.[3]
History
The Mohammad Moniruzzaman Mia Commission Bangladesh Education Commission, Shamsul Haque Education Commission, and the Kabir Chowdhury Education Commission all recommended forming a training institute for madrasa teachers to improve their educational quality in madrasas.[1] The Bangladesh Madrasah Teachers' Training Institute was established in 1995 and provides Bachelor of Madrasah Education degrees.[4]
Madrasa teachers had limited interest in getting a bachelor's degree in education, especially after the government of Bangladesh made the Fazil degree equivalent to a bachelor's degree.[4]
