On June 16, 2026, Rangpur-6 Member of Parliament and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Md. Nurul Amin stated that no madrasa teachers had received their salaries for the month. He described the situation as deeply unfortunate, noting that some teachers were unable to meet urgent family needs due to the delay. The issue of delayed salary and allowance payments for madrasa teachers and staff has drawn attention in the national parliament.

The government has initiated steps to resolve the problem through the Madrasa Education Management and Information System (MEMIS) Support (2nd Revised, Proposed 3rd Amendment) project, which was approved by the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) on June 9. The inclusion of electronic fund transfer (EFT) in the project is expected to streamline payments. The project, originally approved in 2017 at a cost of about Tk 10.12 crore, now stands at approximately Tk 38.07 crore.

Previously, only eight madrasa institutions under a pilot program used EFT for salary payments, while others relied on manual methods, causing delays. Authorities expect the new approval to resolve the issue soon.
