The Technical and Madrasa Education Division announced on Thursday a proposal to provide government salaries to teachers of Qaumi madrasas as part of an initiative to improve the education system. Under this proposal, madrasas will be categorized into four grades based on student numbers and establishment years. • Grade 1: Madrasas with over 500 students and established more than 25 years ago. The head of the institution would receive 10,000 BDT per month, while four teachers and one staff member would each receive 7,000 BDT per month. • Grade 2: Madrasas with over 300 students and over 15 years old. The head would get 8,000 BDT, while four teachers and one staff member would receive 5,000 BDT each. • Grade 3: Madrasas with over 100 students and at least five years old. The head would receive 5,000 BDT, while teachers and staff would get 3,000 BDT each. • Grade 4: All other madrasas fall under this category.
