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 delved a transfer policy for madrasa teachers similar to existing ones for school and college teachers.[7]
